Case against Shilpa Shetty over incident at Aids awareness event had languished in legal system

Richard Gere kisses Shilpa Shetty’s hand at an Aids awareness event in 2007; he went on to tightly hug her and kiss her cheek.Richard Gere kisses Shilpa Shetty’s hand at an Aids awareness event in 2007; he went on to tightly hug her and kiss her cheek.

The charges against Gere were quickly shelved, allowing the actor, one of the world’s best-known Buddhists, to return to India for a meeting with the Dalai Lama. But the case against Shetty languished in India’s glacial legal system for more than a decade until it was finally discharged in Mumbai last week.

Shetty’s lawyer said the entire case rested on the fact that “she did not protest when she was kissed by the co-accused”.

Tens of thousands of Australians waiting longer for elective surgery during pandemicHundreds of thousands of Australians had to wait seven weeks or more for elective surgery procedures as hospitals worked through backlogs during the pandemic, new data shows. 7NEWS Can it also be prominently displayed that Elective surgery means the patient is very unlikely to die if it is postponed, not that it is for trivial/cosmetic/pain-free conditions I was first booked in to have cat 2 surgery in September. I arrived and then was sent home 5 minutes later due to no beds as they had increased Covid patients - I have had it cancelled 3 times and am still waiting. COVID-19 to be used as the excuse for the health system. Seems legit? LOL
