A Mumbai’s magisterial court has issued an arrest warrant against Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt for not appearing before the court in connation with criminal intimidation field by film producer Shakeel Noorani.
“This case has been going on since a long time and the present situation has arisen because of the communication lapse between our lawyers and us. We respect the urgency shown by the honourable court regarding our attendance/ representation and we would take immediate measure to rectify the situation,” Sanjay Dutt’s spokesperson said in a statement.
Noorani had filed a private complaint before the court after a police station refused to take action on a complaint filed which alleged that underworld men, on behalf of Sanjay Dutt, were threatening him.
Neeraj Gupta, lawyer for Noorani, told ANI, “The case is that my client was producing a film in 2009 named ‘Jaan Ki Baazi’ wherein Sanjay Dutt was cast for lead role and a huge amount was also paid to him, but he didn’t come for the shooting therefore the film could not be completed.”
