Arrest warrant issued against Sonu Sood in a fraud case, actor breaks silence 'I have been summoned as...'

Bollywood actor Sonu Sood has landed in trouble as a court in Punjab’s Ludhiana has issued an arrest warrant against him in an alleged fraud case. The case of Rs 10 lacs fraud was filed by Rajesh Khanna, a Ludhiana-based lawyer.

The actor has now broken his silence on X and said, “We need to clarify that the news circulating on social media platforms is highly sensationalised. To put matters straight, we were summoned as a witness by the Honourable Court in a matter pertaining to a third party to which we have no association or affiliation.”

Sood adds, “Our lawyers have responded and on 10th February 2025 we will give a statement that clarifies our non involvement in the matter.”

Sonu Sood turned out a real hero during the COVID-19 phase because of his humanitarian work. The Simmba star helped people across the country with transportation and food during the lockdown period when the country was at a standstill.

Sonu  arranged buses, flights and other means of transport to help people in the tough phase. Due to his noble work, the actor got offers from several political parties. In fact, some of them didn’t just offer him a ticket to run for elections but also lured him with posts like CM and Deputy CM. However, he quashed all the offers.

“I was even offered the position of Chief Minister. When I turned it down, they suggested, ‘Why not Deputy Chief Minister?’ Some of the most influential people in the country were behind these offers, including a seat in the Rajya Sabha. They said, ‘Join us, you don’t need to fight elections, just be with us,’” recalled Sonu while talking to Humans of Bombay.
