Indian Actress Zareen Khan Faces Arrest Warrant in Kolkata:
Kolkata: The Kolkata court has issued an arrest warrant against Indian actress Zareen Khan on charges of cheating.
According to reports in the Indian media, multiple complaints were filed against Zareen Khan in Kolkata, leading to the investigative officer filing a charge sheet against the actress in a Kolkata Sessions Court.
The case against Zareen Khan was filed in 2018 when she was accused of not performing at six programs organized by an event management company in Kolkata.
Despite repeated court notices, the actress did not appear, leading to the issuance of an arrest warrant.
When contacted by the Indian media regarding the warrant, Zareen Khan responded, “I believe there is no truth to this news. I am also surprised, and I am in touch with my lawyer to clarify this matter.”
In 2018, Zareen Khan was scheduled to perform during the Durga Puja celebrations in Kolkata. However, the organizers were left waiting as she did not turn up.
According to the police, the organizers had filed a written complaint accusing the Bollywood actress and her manager of cheating.
Zareen Khan had also alleged that she was misled by the organizers, who had informed her that high-profile dignitaries, including the Chief Minister of Bengal, would be attending the event. Later, she found out that it was a small-scale event in North Kolkata.
Furthermore, Zareen Khan claimed that there was miscommunication regarding flight tickets and accommodation, leading her to miss the show.
The police sources revealed that Zareen Khan had filed a counter-case against the event organizers in the local courts.
Following the investigation, charge sheets were filed against Zareen Khan and her manager. While her manager appeared in court and applied for bail, the actress neither applied for bail nor appeared before the court.
The case continues to unfold, with legal proceedings against Zareen Khan pending in Kolkata.
