A Mumbai court sentenced filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma to three months imprisonment in a cheque bounce case and issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against him.
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has been issued a non-bailable warrant by a Mumbai sessions court after he failed to appear in court to address a cheque bounce case. The court rejected his plea for suspension of a three-month jail sentence and ordered his arrest. The case stems from a 2018 complaint by a company that alleged Varma's firm issued two dishonored checks totaling Rs. 3,72,219.
