A Ludhiana court has issued an arrest warrant for Bollywood actor Sonu Sood in connection with an alleged fraud case. The warrant was issued by Judicial Magistrate Ramanpreet Kaur.
The case revolves around an alleged fraud amounting to Rs 10 lakh, filed by Ludhiana-based lawyer Rajesh Khanna. Khanna claims he was duped into investing in a fraudulent Rijika coin scheme, with one Mohit Shukla accused of orchestrating the scam.
Sonu Sood was summoned to court to provide testimony but failed to appear, prompting the court to issue the arrest warrant. The Ludhiana court has instructed the Officer In-Charge of Oshiwara Police Station in Andheri West, Mumbai, to arrest Sood.
The order states, “Sonu Sood, (S/o, W/o, D/o) residing at H.NO 605/606 Casablanc Apartment, has been duly served with summons or warrants but has failed to attend court, absconding to avoid service.” The police are instructed to arrest Sood and bring him before the court.
The next hearing in the case is scheduled for February 10.
