Choreographer Johnny Master has been granted bail after facing allegations of sexual assault. A female choreographer reported that he assaulted her, leading to his arrest by Narsinghi police on September 16 under sections 376, 506, and 323. After a brief stint in Chanchalguda Jail, the court granted him bail from October 6 to 9, coinciding with the national awards ceremony. However, his regular bail petition was rejected earlier this month.

The victim, who met Johnny Master during a TV show in 2017, claims he has been harassing her since then, including an alleged assault at a hotel in Mumbai. She reported ongoing threats and coercion regarding her career opportunities.
