Rakhi Sawant in trouble, non-bailable warrant issued over Valmiki controversy

New Delhi: Motor-mouth Rakhi Sawant has courted trouble once again. The actress has been booked for making unsavoury remarks about Saint Valmiki. According to ANI, a Ludhiana court has issued a non-bailable warrant against Rakhi for making a derogatory statement about the sage.

Earlier, a local court in Ludhiana issued an arrest warrant against Rakhi Sawant for allegedly making objectionable remarks against the sage. The warrant was issued on March 9 on the basis of a complaint filed against her for allegedly hurting religious sentiments of Valmiki community with her comments on a programme on a private television channel last year, police said.

"By doing so she has hurt the religious sentiments of a large number of his followers," the complaint said. "A two-member team of the Ludhiana police has left for Mumbai with the arrest warrant," a police official told PTI.

On March 9, Rakhi failed to appear before the court despite issuing her repeated summons.
