After returning from Sharjah, UAE, actress Chrisann Pereira met Mumbai Police Commissioner on Thursday (August 3). Chrisann returned home four months after she was framed in a drugs case. For those unversed, the actress was imprisoned for a month in the UAE. She was granted bail after officials discovered that she had fallen prey to a plan in which drugs were planted on her by a person who wanted to seek revenge.
Chrisann also held a press conference in Mumbai earlier today and shared her ordeal. Several photos have also surfaced online in which Chrisann and her family members are seen with Mumbai Police Commissioner Vivek Phansalkar.
Mumbai Police also felicitated Chrisann and welcomed her. Take a look at the photos here:

Just know that I'm beyond thankful and grateful for each one of you and your contribution in spreading awareness, elevating this case and making it a huge deal that it is.
