Bollywood actress Zareen Khan is now facing a big bombshell after getting an arrest warrant against her in connection with an alleged ‘cheating case’ issued by a Kolkata court on Sunday.

Kolkata court issues arrest warrant against actor Zareen Khan

Basically, the case was lodged against her back in 2018. The investigating officer in the case had submitted the charge sheet against the actress before the Sealdah court in Kolkata.

However, Zareen Khan neither appealed for bail nor appeared before the court. As she was not abiding by the summons repeatedly, the court has issued an arrest warrant against the ‘Veer’ actress.

When asked about the arrest warrant, Zareen Khan said she had no clarity on this matter. “I’m sure there is no truth to this. I’m surprised too and am checking with my lawyer. Only then will I be able to give you some clarity? In the meantime, you can speak to my PR,” she said.

Why cheating case filed against Zareen?

Reportedly, Zareen Khan was scheduled to perform during a Durga Puja function in Kolkata. So, everyone, especially the organisers waited for her arrival, but she didn’t show up.

Then, one of the organisers filed a written complaint of cheating against the actor and her manager. And later, an FIR was filed against both and they were asked to appear for questioning.

Now, responding to the accusation, Zareen Khan did show up for questioning back then and claimed to be misguided by the organisers. She also alleged that she was told by the organizers that heavyweight ministers, including Bengal’s chief minister, would attend the function.

However, it is said that her team later found out that it was a small-scale event in north Kolkata. She said that there was a miscommunication over flight tickets and other accommodations, following which she had to skip the show.

Then, actress files a case

Amid the dilemma of who said what, Zareen Khan had also filed a case against the organisers of the show at a local court, police sources said. After the investigation, a chargesheet was lodged against her and her manager.

While her manager appeared before the court and sought bail, the actor neither asked for bail nor appeared before the court.
