Mumbai, February 16: Manyata lands in new muddle, jail inmate claims to be husband

A writer, lodged in a Mumbai jail, has moved the court claiming that he is Manyata's husband since he has still not divorced her.

Mehraj Shaikh, who claims to be Manyata's husband filed an application against Dutt and her in a Mumbai court on Friday, alleging that they have violated the Muslim marriage norms.

Shaikh is currently lodged at the Arthur Road jail in connection with charges of sending vulgar SMSs and threatening Bollywood personalities for extortion.
