Shiney's story so far - New twist (Like always)

There's now a new twist to the actor's story.
His former maid has told that the girl who's accused Shiney of raping her was actually in love with him. "The girl told me that she had a boyfriend earlier who had gone to his village and married someone else. She then said that she had now fallen in love with Shiney Ahuja. I said why are you talking like this? Does he love you too? She said I just love him, what do I do now?)", said Shiney Ahuja's former maid. Lawyers say the former maid's testimony could be a ray of hope for Shiney Ahuja as far as getting bail is concerned.

Meanwhile, Shiney Ahuja's wife, Anupama - who went to meet her husband in jail on Thursday - said, "It felt wonderful seeing him. He looked at me with love and I looked at him with love. We really love each other, and we're waiting for him to come home."

Shiney Ahuja in judicial custody till July 2.
However, the father of the victim said, "I want Shiney to be jailed. I am satisfied with the way the police have been handling the case".
The National Commission of Women Chief Girija Vyas is leaving for Mumbai now where she plans on meeting the alleged victim.
