A court in Jhansi (Uttar Pradesh) on October 16 issued a non-bailable warrant against actress Rakhi Sawant in connection with a 2010 abetment to suicide case. The court issued the warrant after Rakhi repeatedly failed to appear before it.
The case concerns Laxman Ashirwar, who allegedly died by suicide on November 10, 2010, after being humiliated by remarks Rakhi reportedly made about him on her TV show, Rakhi Ka Insaaf. Ahirwar’s mother had filed a complaint alleging that the actress used insulting and objectionable language during an episode which aired in October 2010.
The next hearing is scheduled for December 1.
