Rakhi Sawant's Warrant Cancelled in Suicide Abetment Case
22 Oct
Summary
- Court cancelled non-bailable warrant against Rakhi Sawant.
- Warrant was for a 2010 criminal case involving alleged suicide abetment.
- Allahabad high court order restrained coercive action against her.
A Jhansi court has cancelled the non-bailable warrant that was issued against actor Rakhi Sawant on October 16, 2026. This cancellation pertains to a criminal case filed in 2010, in which Sawant is accused of abetting a suicide. The court's decision was influenced by an application from Sawant's legal counsel, who cited a prior order from the Allahabad high court.
The civil judge, CAW-Fast Track Court, reviewed the high court's order dated December 7, 2011. This order, granted under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, stipulated that no coercive action should be taken against Sawant. The non-bailable warrant had been issued because Sawant failed to appear in court for the case.
The original case stemmed from an FIR lodged at Prem Nagar police station in 2010. Savitri Devi reported the death of her son, Laxman Prasad Ahirwar, who had reportedly committed suicide. The family alleged that marital disputes involving Laxman were discussed on Sawant's reality show, 'Rakhi Ka Insaaf.'
During the show, Sawant allegedly made remarks that deeply distressed Laxman. His family claims this public humiliation, along with the resulting depression, led to his death in November 2010. Sawant had previously stated that she was merely a host and followed the channel's script.
