Relief for Sanjay Dutt, Mumbai court cancels his arrest warrant

Dutt came to the court with his advocates to file the application before magistrate CV Patil.

In a reprieve to actor Sanjay Dutt, a magistrate court on Monday cancelled a bailable arrest warrant issued against him for failing to appear before the court in connection with a criminal intimidation complaint filed by producer Shakil Noorani.

Dutt came to the court with his advocates to file the application before magistrate CV Patil.

He refused to talk to the media and was whisked away from the courtroom to his car parked on the premises.

Noorani’s complaint dates back to 2013, when the producer alleged he had received threatening calls from gangsters on behalf of Dutt to settle a dispute regarding a film which the actor allegedly did not complete.
