A court in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, has issued a non-bailable warrant against actor Rakhi Sawant in connection with a 2010 suicide case linked to alleged insulting remarks she made about a local resident on her television show Rakhi Ka Insaaf. District Government Counsel (Crime) Mridul Kant Srivastava confirmed the development on Saturday, October 17.

Arrest warrant against Rakhi Sawant

According to PTI, Civil Judge (Junior Division) Anjali issued the warrant on Friday, October 16, after Sawant repeatedly failed to appear before the court. The case dates back to November 2010, when Laxman Ahirwar, a resident of the Hansari Prem Nagar area in Jhansi, allegedly died by suicide after being humiliated by comments made about him on the show, the prosecution has claimed.
