A judicial magistrate in Ludhiana has issued an arrest warrant against Bollywood actor Sonu Sood in connection with an alleged ₹10 lakh fraud case. The warrant was issued by judicial magistrate Ramanpreet Kaur after Sood failed to appear in court despite being summoned.
The case was filed by Ludhiana-based lawyer Rajesh Khanna, who accused Mohit Shukla, the primary suspect, of deceiving him into investing in a fake Rijika coin. Sonu Sood was summoned to testify but did not attend the hearing, leading the court to take judicial action.
The court has directed the officer-in-charge of Oshiwara Police Station in Andheri West, Mumbai, to arrest Sood and present him before the court. “Sonu Sood, resident of Casablanca Apartment, has been duly served with summons but failed to attend. You are hereby ordered to arrest and bring him before the court,” the order stated, as reported by ANI.
Sood, known for his philanthropic work during the COVID-19 pandemic, has not yet responded to the court’s order. His legal team is expected to take necessary steps to address the warrant.
