Ajaz is controversy's favorite child
Notably, this isn't Ajaz's first brush with the law. The former BB contestant was arrested for sending obscene messages to a beautician two years ago.
The victim had approached him with a business project proposal and filed a complaint against him post his predatory behavior.
However, Ajaz was later released on a surety of Rs. 10,000 by a Mumbai court.
