Mumbai court issues warrant against Sanjay Dutt

April 16, 2017 08:45

A magisterial court in Mumbai has issued a bailable arrest warrant against Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt for not appearing before it to answer a complaint of criminal intimidation filed by producer Shakeel Noorani.

Dutt, however, attributed his non-appearance before the court to a "communication lapse" between his counsel and those of Noorani and vowed to "rectify the situation."

"We had sought an 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.
