Punjab Police Team Leaves For Mumbai To Arrest Rakhi Sawant

Darpan News Desk IANS, 03 Apr, 2017 11:52 AM
    A Punjab Police team has left here for Mumbai to execute an arrest warrant issued by a local court against controversial TV and Bollywood actresss Rakhi Sawant, police said on Monday.
     
    The court issued the arrest warrant after Sawant failed to appear before it on March 9 in a case filed against her for making deragatory remarks against sage Valmiki, the author of the Ramayana which chronicles the life and times of Hindu god Lord Rama.
     
    The warrant was issued on March 9 on the basis of a complaint filed against her for allegedly hurting religious sentiments of Valmiki community with her comments on a programme on a private television channel last year, police said today.
     
     
    "By doing so she has hurt the religious sentiments of a large number of his followers," the complaint said.
     
    "A two-member team of the Ludhiana police has left for Mumbai with the arrest warrant," a police official said.
     
    Sawant had failed to appear before the court during the last hearing held on March 9 despite the court issuing her repeated summons.
     
    The next hearing of the case is scheduled for April 10.
