A local court in Muzaffarpur (Bihar) on Friday issued arrest warrants against Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram Leela actors Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra and Ranveer Singh, and director-producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali in connection with a case alleging that a few scenes in the movie hurt the religious sentiments of the Hindus.
Warrants were also issued against another producer Kishore Lulla, as well as the musicians and lyricists of the movie. Issuing the arrest warrants, Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) SP Singh directed Mumbai Police Commissioner to arrest the persons concerned and produce them at his court on June 4.
The warrants were issued based on a complaint case under various sections of the IPC filed by advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha in November last year which alleged Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram Leela was offensive to the religious values of Hindus.
The CJM took cognisance of the case on February 14 this year and summoned the actors and the director, who did not turn up following which yesterday the warrants were issued.
