BOMBAY High Court Monday rejected the bail application of Jerrit John,accused of having attempted to kill his former girlfriend. The court observed that if John was granted bail,he may try to threaten the victim.

On November 7 last year,John,a film production house owner,allegedly hurled a chemical at his estranged girlfriend Aryanka Hosbetkar,a physiotherapist. The incident is said to have taken place at her residence at Worli. The prosecution has claimed that John planned the attack after Hosbetkar refused to marry him.
