Sonu Sood Gives Clarification About Arrest Warrant Issued Against Him Related To Fraud Case

Sonu Sood gave a statement after news about his arrest warrant went viral online. The actor clarified that the news circulating on social media is highly sensationalized. Earlier, it was reported that Punjab court has issued an arrest warrant against Bollywood actor Sonu Sood related to an alleged fraud case. The warrant has been issued by Ludhiana Judicial Magistrate Ramanpreet Kaur. The case was related to alleged fraud of Rs 10 lakh which was filed by Ludhiana-based lawyer Rajesh Khanna against Mohit Shukla, claiming that he was lured to invest in a fake Rijika coin. The court summoned Sonu Sood to testify in the case but he skipped it. After this, Judicial Magistrate Ramanpreet Kaur issued an arrest warrant against the actor. As per the order, Ludhiana court has directed the officer-in-charge of Oshiwara Police Station, Andheri West, Mumbai, to arrest Sonu Sood. 

As reported by ANI, the order read, “Sonu Sood, (S/o, W/o, D/o) resident of R/O H.NO 605/606 Casablanc Apartment, has been duly served with summon(s) or warrant(s) but he/she has failed to attend (absconds and keeps out of the way for the purpose of avoiding service of a summon(s) or warrant(s)). You are hereby ordered to arrest and bring the said Sonu Sood before the Court..” 

“You are hereby directed to return this warrant on or before 10-02-2025 with an endorsement certifying the day on and the manner in which it has been executed, or the reason why it has not been executed,” it read further. The next hearing is set to be held on February 10. 

Now, giving his clarification, Sonu Sood wrote on X "We need to clarify that the news circulating on social media platforms is highly sensationalised. To put matters straight, we were summoned as a witness by the Honourable Court in a matter pertaining to a third party to which we have no association or affiliation. Our lawyers have responded and on 10th February 2025 we will give a statement that clarifies our non involvement in the matter. We are neither brand ambassadors nor are we associated in any way. This is just for unnecessary media attention to grab eyeballs. It is sad that celebs become soft targets. We will take strict action in this matter."
