Actress Sonakshi Sinha has reportedly landed in legal trouble.
As per reports, a non-bailable warrant has been issued against her in an alleged fraud case.
According to ETimes, the ‘Dabangg’ actress had allegedly taken an advance of Rs 37 LAKHS for attending an event in Delhi in 2019. As the report suggests, Sonakshi didn’t attend the said event and was accused of cheating, criminal conspiracy and breach of trust by an event organiser named Pramod Sharma – a resident of Moradabad’s Katghar police station area.
Reportedly, Pramod had reportedly filed a complaint against the actress back then after repeated attempts to recover the money.
Previously, Sonakshi had supposedly come to Moradabad to record her statement in this case. But now, the court has issued a warrant against Sonakshi due to her continuous absence thereafter.
As Peeping Moon reported, the ACJM court in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh has instructed the actress to appear in the court on April 25.
In 2019, Sonakshi Sinha had dismissed the allegations of fraud by issuing an official statement through her team on social media. She had stated –
“Sonakshi was approached by the event organisers in Delhi to attend an event. However, despite repeated reminders, the organiser failed to make the payments to Sonakshi before the event as contracted. The tickets to Delhi were not in order/as were agreed, the organiser also didn’t send return tickets for Sonakshi and her team, despite knowing that she had a shoot the next morning after the event. This put everyone in a tough spot. Several attempts were made to contact the organiser requesting him to make the contracted payments and send the tickets, however, they remained incommunicado and didn’t live up to their end of the bargain.”
“Due to a lack of commitment by the organiser, Sonakshi and her team were left with no choice but to return home from Mumbai airport. Ever since that day, Sonakshi’s management agency has been trying to reach out to the organiser to find an amicable solution to the extent of offering an alternate date and tried to connect but to no avail. The organizer is now using the media to release false and manipulated facts. If the organiser doesn’t stop at this, Sonakshi and her team will be forced to take a legal course of action to set this straight. We request media to not let anyone use their platform without looking into the facts.”
