The controversy queen Rakhi Sawant, who loves being in the limelight, has landed in legal troubles. An arrest warrant against her has been issued by a local court in Ludhiana for allegedly making offensive remarks against sage Valmiki, who wrote the mythological Hindu epic 'Ramayana'.
The warrant was issued on March 9 on the basis of a complaint filed against her for allegedly hurting religious sentiments of Valmiki community with her comments on a programme on a private television channel last year, police said today.
"By doing so she has hurt the religious sentiments of a large number of his followers," the complaint said.
"A two-member team of the Ludhiana police has left for Mumbai with the arrest warrant," a police official said.
Sawant had failed to appear before the court during the last hearing held on March 9 despite the court issuing her repeated summons.
The next hearing of the case is scheduled for April 10.
