Actress Sonakshi Sinha issued a statement on Tuesday slamming reports that a non-bailable warrant was issued against her in a fraud case. She called it the “work of a rogue individual trying to harass” her. On Monday, a few media outlets reported that the warrant has been issued against Sonakshi in a Rs 37 lakhs fraud case filed by an event organizer.
“There have been rumours of a non-bailable warrant issued against me floating in the media, without any verification from any authorities since a few days now. This is pure fiction and the work of a rogue individual trying to harass me. I request all media houses, journalists and news reporters not to carry this fake news as it is playing into this individual’s agenda to gain publicity,” she wrote on Instagram.
In the statement, she said the man was trying to “extort money from her”. She added: “This man is purely trying to gain some publicity and extort money from me by attacking my reputation which I have very proudly built over the years, by planting these malicious articles in the media. Kindly do not participate in this harassment charade. This matter is subjudice before the Muradabad court and has been stayed by the Allahabad High Court. My legal team will be taking all the necessary action against him for contempt of court. This will be my only comment on this matter until the Muradabad Court has passed its verdict, so please do not approach me for the same. I am home and I can assure you there are no warrants issued against me.”
