Sonakshi Sinha rubbishes reports about non-bailable warrant issued against her
The name of Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha recently hit the headlines when the news emerged that an event organiser had accused her of not attending an event in Delhi after allegedly receiving an advance payment of around ₹37 lakh and that a non-bailable warrant was issued against her for the same. However, the actress on Tuesday refuted all baseless reports and called the entire episode a ‘piece of fiction’ and an attempt to harass her.
Her official statement read: “There have been rumours of a non-bailable 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.”
The statement continued, “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 Moradabad 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 Moradabad 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 concluded her statement.
In 2019, Sinha had reached Moradabad to record her statement in the same case. A case was registered against her under sections 420 (cheating) and 406 (criminal breach of trust) of the Indian Penal Code.
