Ludhiana (Punjab) [India]: A Punjab court has issued an arrest warrant against Bollywood actor Sonu Sood in connection with an alleged fraud case. The warrant was issued by Ludhiana Judicial Magistrate Ramanpreet Kaur.
The case involves an alleged Rs 10 lakh fraud, filed by Ludhiana-based lawyer Rajesh Khanna against Mohit Shukla, where he claimed he was misled into investing in a fake Rijika coin scheme.
Sonu Sood was summoned to testify in court but failed to appear, prompting the issuance of the arrest warrant.
The Ludhiana court has directed the Officer In-Charge of Oshiwara Police Station, Andheri West, Mumbai, to arrest Sonu Sood and present him before the court.
The court order states:
“Sonu Sood, (S/o, W/o, D/o) resident of R/O H.NO 605/606 Casablanc Apartment, has been duly served with summon(s) or warrant(s) but he/she has failed to attend (absconds and keeps out of the way for the purpose of avoiding service of a summon(s) or warrant(s)). You are hereby ordered to arrest and bring the said Sonu Sood before the Court…”
The order further instructs authorities to execute the warrant by February 10, 2025, stating:
“You are hereby directed to return this warrant on or before 10-02-2025 with an endorsement certifying the day on and the manner in which it has been executed, or the reason why it has not been executed.”
