'It's finally happened. My boy is coming out'

Unable to control his emotions, Aditya Pancholi sobbed his relief minutes after hearing the news.

"It's finally happened. My boy is coming out. I am grateful to the honourable judge for being fair to us. We had begun to lose hope," he said.

'My son has gone through so much'

"We knew Suraj would be out because he has done no wrong," said his mother Zarina Wahab.

"My son has gone through so much. We have suffered but we can't begin to imagine what he must have gone through," she added.

Bollywood support

The Hindi film industry also tweeted its support for the youngster.

Suraj to surrender his passport

A Mumbai sessions court had earlier rejected Suraj's bail plea on the grounds that investigations had reached a crucial stage and his release may hamper the probe.

The court, however, has directed Suraj to surrender his passport and appear before the Juhu police every alternate day.
