Television actor Sai Vitthal Ballal, who was arrested for allegedly molesting and sending pornographic clips to a woman co-actor, was remanded to judicial custody till 30 July in Mumbai on Thursday.
Ballal, who plays the role of Kamalnarayan Rajvanshi aks Bhaiyyaji in TV series "Udaan", was arrested on Wednesday.
A metropolitan magistrate in Borivali Court, north-west Mumbai, remanded the actor after he was produced by the local police following a complaint by the woman, an official said here.
Ballal was taken into custody after a co-star complained about him for allegedly sending objectionable clips, messages and molesting her on multiple occasions since last April.
She further claimed that her complaints to the serial's producers went unheeded and she was removed from the teleserial.
The woman then approached the Cine and TV Artistes Association (CINTAA) which suggested that since it was a criminal matter, she should approach the police.
Ballal was picked up from Film City in Goregaon on Wednesday along with two accomplices suspected of helping him, and arrested later in the evening.
