Bollywood actor Shiney Ahuja may not have even imagined that he could end up in such a deep trap. The actor has been convicted by a fast track court in Mumbai, India, for raping his maid at his residence.

The court has sentenced Shiney to seven years of rigorous imprisonment. The judgment was given on the basis of evidence, which had stated a positive DNA test on the 20 year-old victim.

According to the police constable who was inside the court room, Shiney had tears in his eyes when the judgment was being announced. The actor could not control his emotions, when he saw his mother sitting in the court room.

The court has also imposed a fine of Rs. 3000 on the actor, who was also charged of wrongful confinement and criminal intimidation. Ahuja was accompanied by his wife Anupam and advocate Shrikant Shivde. Shiney's mother and a relative had come to the court later. The media wasn't allowed in the court room as the proceeding was in-camera. The 'BhoolBhulaiyya' actor sat patiently throughout the proceeding and was later sent to the Arthur Road jail. Shiney's advocate Shivde has said that they would file an appeal against the verdict in the high court.

Dogs are usually known for their faithfulness and good companionship. But when in India, the dog is known for abolishing the cast discrimination. A V Halli is a village in the Ramnagaram district in the state of Karnataka, India, where people worship Sri Naayidole Veerappa, who is also known as the dog God.

The temple is situated next to the temple of Sri Veeramasti Kempamma. The locals have a belief that the dog serves as the God's lieutenant. The devotees come here to make wishes and return to the same temple to offer respects, if their wishes are fulfilled.

The dog God also acts as a fortune teller for the locals and also warns incase of bad events that are about to occur. Moreover, many families in order to show their devotion to the dog God name their new born children after them.

The good thing is the dog God has brought the abolition of the caste discrimination in the village. Even the priest in the temple is always a member of the 'dalit' community.
