Popular film choreographer Jani Master was granted conditional bail by the Telangana High Court on Thursday in a case of alleged sexual assault on a junior female colleague.  The celebrity choreographer will be walking free after spending more than a month in jail. He was arrested from Goa last month after a woman filed a complaint against him for sexual harassment. 

When Jani Master was granted bail for National Awards

Jani Master was earlier granted interim bail earlier this month for a period of four days. The Rangareddy district court had granted the same so that the choreographer can attend the National Film Awards ceremony scheduled for October 8.  He was granted bail for four days from October 6. Sheik Jani Basha alias Jani Master was to receive the award for his choreography in the song 'Megham Karukkatha' from the film 'Thiruchitrambalam'. However, after the court order, the National Film Awards Cell under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting revoked the award as he was booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act. The invitation extended to the choreographer for the function was also withdrawn.
