MUMBAI: A local magisterial court issued an arrest warrant against Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt today for not appearing before it to answer a complaint of criminal intimidation filed by producer Shakeel Noorani.
“We had sought arrest warrant against Dutt for non- appearance. The court has allowed our application,” said advocate Neeraj Gupta, Noorani’s lawyer.
The next hearing will be on August 29.
Noorani has filed a private complaint with the court demanding registration of a case against Dutt for criminal intimidation.
Dutt had abandoned midway in 2002 a film, ‘Jan ki Bazzi,’ which he was producing, said Noorani in his complaint, adding the actor did not even return the money already paid to him. (AGENCIES)
