Tiranga director Mehul Kumar has been sentenced jail for six months

Bollywood's Director and Producer Mehul Kumar has been sentenced 6 months jail in a cheque bounce case by a court of Jaamnagar. Megistrate Altaf Menon also imposed fine of Rs 5000. The court, however, stayed his sentence for a month to enable him to challenge the order in a higher court. Kumar had given a signed cheque of Rs 63,805 to complainant Jagdish Asra, who is a manager at Jamnagar-based Arcadia Shipping and Trading Company, in 2008. However, cheque was bounced due to insufficient balance in his account. Mehul has directed films like Tiranga, Kohram, Marte Dam Tak, Krantiveer. He has worked with actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Nana Patekar, Akshay Kumar, Madhuri Dixit and Dimple Kapadia.
