Actress Chrisann Pereira, who appeared in Alia Bhatt’s Sadak 2 in 2022, has been released from Sharjah prison in the UAE. She was arrested earlier this month when drugs were found in a trophy she was carrying. As per reports she was framed in a drug case. On Wednesday, her brother Kevin Pereira posted a clip on his Instagram account and affirmed that she was released from jail.

Chrisann’s brother took to Instagram and posted a video of their mother jumping in joy while talking to her on a video call. Soon after she was released from Sharjah prison, the actress called her family. Alongside the video, Kevin penned, “Chrisann is SET FREE!!! She will be in India in the next 48 hours.”

 

Chrisann was arrested at Sharjah International Airport on April 1. The Mumbai Crime Branch eventually found that a bakery owner framed the actress to get revenge after a fight over a dog after her family informed officials that she was innocent. Police have arrested Anthony Paul, the bakery owner and Rajesh Bobhate, an associate general manager in a bank who assisted Anthony in framing Chrisann. As per reports, Anthony approached the actress through Rajesh, who acted as a talent consultant and informed her about an audition for a web series in Sharjah.
