A local court has convicted actor Aditya Pancholi and sentenced him to one year imprisonment for assaulting his neighbour.
"The local magistrate's court at Mumbai's suburban Andheri has convicted Pancholi for assaulting and criminal intimidation," a senior police official said.
The Magistrate Amitabh Panchbhai after convicting the actor, released him on the bail of Rs 12,000.
According to the police, Pancholi hit his neighbour Pratik Pasrani and reportedly fractured his nose at their building in 2005.
The police had said that Pancholi's guest had parked his vehicle at the space earmarked for Pasrani at 'Magnum Opus' Apartments in Versova, a western suburb of Mumbai.
Pasrani objected to it and asked the security staff to clear the vehicle following which an altercation broke between the duo and the actor assaulted Pasrani, they had said.
The police initially registered a non-cognizable case but the medical examination revealed that Pasrani's nose was broken. The police then registered a case of grievous hurt and criminal intimidation.
