A non-bailable warrant (NBW) has been issued against singer Sourin Bhatt in connection with the harassment case against him.
As the singer was reportedly not cooperating in the investigation of the sexual harassment case lodged by a woman, the Commissionerate Police had moved the court seeking an NBW against the singer. The NBW application was filed by Mahila Police Station, Cuttack. The SDJM court accepted the appeal and issued an NBW against Bhatt.
On June 12, a woman accused the Ollywood singer of sexually harassing her and cheating her of lakhs of rupees. The complainant reportedly works in a private bank. As per her allegations, she had come in contact with the singer in 2015.
