Bollywood actor Sonakshi Sinha is in legal trouble. A non-bailable warrant has been issued against the actress in a fraud case. Sonakshi has been accused of skipping an event in Delhi, for which she had charged Rs 37 lakh in advance. It is being alleged that her manager return money to the event organiser.
The event organiser Pramod Sharma, a resident of Katghar police station area of Moradabad, had invited the actor as the chief guest. However, she didn’t attend the event. When Pramod asked for the money back, Sonakshi’s manager allegedly refused to pay. Hence, the event organiser filed a fraud case against the actress in the Moradabad district of Uttar Pradesh.
The Dabangg star had reportedly travelled to Moradabad to record her statement in this case. However, she remained absent and the court issued a warrant against her.
Sonakshi Sinha has issued an official statement saying, “There have been rumours of a nonbailable warrant issued against me floating in the media, without any verification from any authorities since a few days now. This is pure fiction and the work of a rogue individual trying to harass me. I request all media houses, journalists, and news reporters not to carry this fake news as it is playing into this individual’s agenda to gain publicity. This man is purely trying to gain some publicity and extort money from me by attacking my reputation which I have very proudly built over the years, by planting these malicious articles in the media. Kindly do not participate in this harassment charade.”
“This matter is subjudice before the Muradabad court and has been stayed by the Allahabad High Court. My legal team will be taking all the necessary action against him for contempt of court. This will be my only comment on this matter until the Muradabad Court has passed its verdict, so please do not approach me for the same. I am home and I can assure you there are no warrants issued against me,” she said.
On the work front, Sonakshi will soon be seen in the horror-comedy, Kakuda. The film also stars Riteish Deshmukh and Saqib Saleem. Sonakshi was last seen in Bhuj: The Pride of India, alongside Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt. The actress recently returned from the Da-Bangg tour with Salman Khan, Disha Patani, Pooja Hegde and others. She will be seen in Double XL with Huma Qureshi.
