Sonu Sood was issued an arrest warrant by Ludhiana's Judicial Magistrate Ramanpreet Kaur in connection with a fraud case of ₹10 lakh filed by a Ludhiana-based lawyer Rajesh Khanna against one Mohit Shukla, in which he alleged that he was lured to invest in a fake Rijika coin. Sonu was summoned to testify in the matter, but she couldn't appear in the court. As a result, the magistrate issued an arrest warrant. Now, the actor has reacted to the news and clarified that he was summoned to be a 'witness' in the matter in which he has no involvement. He further called for strict action in the matter.
