A court in Punjab's Ludhiana 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.
Rajesh Khanna, a Ludhiana-based lawyer, filed the case involving an alleged ₹10 lakh fraud. He alleged that Mohit Shukla, the main accused, lured him to invest in a fake Rijika coin. The court summoned Sonu Sood to testify in the case, but the actor skipped the summons.
This led to the warrant being issued by Ludhiana judicial magistrate Ramanpreet Kaur.
In its order, the Ludhiana court directed the officer-in-charge of Oshiwara Police Station, Andheri West, Mumbai, to arrest Sonu Sood.
