Zareen Khan To Take Legal Action Against Cop After Kolkata Court Cancels Her Arrest Warrant In 2018 cheating case-READ BELOW
Zareen Khan finally breathed a sigh of relief as she won the legal battle against her in a Kolkata court on Tuesday.  The court even cancelled the arrest warrant that was issued against her in connection with the alleged 2018 cheating case. 

As per the reports, the investigation revealed that the arrest warrant was a result of ‘fraudulent and misleading statements’ issued by the Investigating Officer. 

Zareen’s counsel Rizwan Siddiquee on Wednesday shared that the actor will now sue the cop involved in the case. The advocate, in his statement, said that his client suffered owing to the ‘wilful acts’ of the Investigating officer. 

"I have no other option but to initiate prosecution against the said police officer under Sections 166 and 166A(b) of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 which provides 'rigorous imprisonment' for such police officers (public servants) who knowingly disobey the direction of law," Khan's advocate, Rizwan Siddiquee was quoted as saying by IndiaTV. 

He also added that the Ld Magistrate issued a warrant against Khan because of the misleading statements made by the cop, Dilip Yadav. 

"On learning the ‘true and correct facts’ of the matter the Ld. Magistrate has accordingly passed a detailed Order, forthwith cancelling/recalling the Warrant issued against my client. Even the Hon’ble High Court of Kolkata has passed an Order favouring my client in the same matter," he said.

For those unaware, Zareen Khan landed in trouble in 2018, after she was scheduled to perform in Kolkata at a Durga Puja event. However, the organizers claimed that she failed to make an appearance at the event, and went on to file an FIR. However, contrary to the claims, Zareen maintained that the organisers misled her by telling her the event will have prominent personalities including the Chief Minister of West Bengal. 

Zareen Khan’s team, in September 2023, told IndiaTV that Khan had been a victim of fraud and revealed that the organisers of the event Vishal Gupta and his wife Payal Gupta, through their manager Anjali Atha, deceived the actor.
