Mumbai: A Mumbai court on Wednesday directed the Mumbai police to submit by February 25 its report on inquiry into Meraj-ur-Rehman's claim that he is the first husband of Manyata, now wife of Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt.
Meraj, who is in police custody for sending obscene messages to Bollywood actresses, has in a written complaint to the Bandra metropolitan magistrate contended that Manyata's marriage to Sanjay Dutt on February 11 was illegal, as he has not divorced her yet.
Meraj says he married Manyata in 2003 and has a son from her. The son is now in the Gulf with Manyata's relatives.
Meraj, who has been a struggling writer in the film industry, told the police he only wanted custody of his son and was ready to legally divorce Manyata.
This is not the only complication that the newly married Dutt couple is facing. Sanjay and Manyata first had a registered marriage in Goa and then a Hindu ritual marriage in Mumbai.
However, the Goa district administration last week ordered re-examination of the marriage registration papers.
