Rakhi Sawant Faces Arrest Warrant Over TV Show Suicide Case
17 Oct
Summary
- Actor Rakhi Sawant faces a non-bailable warrant after failing to appear in court.
- The case involves alleged abetment of suicide linked to a 2010 reality show.
- A 24-year-old man died after alleged public humiliation on 'Rakhi Ka Insaaf'.
A court in Jhansi has issued a non-bailable warrant against actor Rakhi Sawant for not appearing in proceedings. The case dates back to 2010 and involves the alleged abetment of suicide.
The legal action originates from a complaint by Savitri Devi regarding her son, Laxman Prasad Ahirwar. He was allegedly humiliated on Sawant's reality show, 'Rakhi Ka Insaaf', during a discussion of his marital disputes. This public embarrassment reportedly caused him distress and damaged his reputation.
Following the incident, Laxman became unwell and died by suicide in November 2010. His family contends that the humiliation on the show contributed to his death. An FIR was registered against Sawant and others under sections pertaining to abetment of suicide and intentional insult.
Sawant is now required to appear before the court and obtain bail. The case previously generated controversy regarding the show's handling of personal matters and its impact on participants.
