Mumbai, Oct 6: A non-cognisable offence was registered against starlet Rakhi Sawant on Friday, after a 31-year-old fashion designer alleged the starlet had abused her when she telephoned her seeking an outstanding payment of Rs 1.2 lakh, the police said.
According to fashion designer Pooja Shukla, who is a resident of Deep Tower at Oshiwara Gardens located in Lokhandwala area of Andheri (West), she had been making clothes for Sawant for the past two years, the police said.
Four months ago, she had made 40 pieces of clothing for the starlet, costing Rs 1.2 lakh, but Sawant had not paid her, the police said.
“The complainant claimed that when she telephoned Sawant on Friday to ask for her outstanding payment, Sawant abused her.
As per her allegations, we have registered a non-cognisable complaint,” Oshiwara police station's senior inspector D Rupawate said.
Since the offence was a non-cognisable one, they would not investigate the case and Shukla would have to pursue the matter in court, the police said.
