A non-bailable arrest warrant has been issued against actor Sanjay Dutt by the Andheri court in Mumbai. The warrant pertains to the 2002 case filed by Shakeel Noorani, in which the director alleged that Dutt had threatened him.
According to Noorani’s petition, Dutt was committed to play the lead role in his film, Jann Ki Baazi. However, the actor did not turn up for the shoot. He also failed to return the advance amount of Rs 50 Lakhs. He also alleged that some of Dutt’s alleged underworld links also threatened him and urged him to drop the case.

After hearing the petition, the Bombay High Court ordered the seizure of the actor’s property.
This is certainly not Dutt’s first brush with the law. In 2013, when the Agneepath actor failed to appear before the court, a non-bailable warrant was issued. The warrant was cancelled once he appeared before the court.
Post that, Sanjay Dutt served a five-year jail term for the 1993 Mumbai serial blast case. He was sentenced to imprisonment for the possession of illegal arms.
