Non-bailable arrest warrant issued on Rakhi Sawant in 2010 suicide case after she fails to appear at UP court

A Uttar Pradesh court has issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against television personality Rakhi Sawant after she failed to appear in a case connected to a suicide in 2010.

The case has drawn attention because it concerns remarks allegedly made by Sawant on her television programme, Rakhi Ka Insaaf. The proceedings place the entertainment figure at the centre of a long-running legal matter tied to the programme.

Case linked to Jhansi resident

According to PTI, the case relates to Laxman Ahirwar, who lived in the Hansari Prem Nagar area of Jhansi. Ahirwar allegedly died by suicide on November 10, 2010.

A lawyer said the death followed alleged humiliation caused by remarks made by Sawant on the television show. The case therefore connects a televised dispute with legal proceedings that have continued in an Uttar Pradesh court.

Warrant follows missed court appearance

The non-bailable warrant was issued after Sawant did not appear before the court. The available information does not specify the next hearing date or provide further details about the court’s directions.

The development adds a significant legal complication for Sawant, while the underlying allegations remain connected to statements attributed to her television programme.

What happens next

Further proceedings will determine how the case moves forward. At this stage, the reported development is the court’s issuance of the non-bailable arrest warrant following her failure to appear.
