No legal action against Rakhi Sawant

On Wednesday, the Allahabad High Court had passed an order, which stated that the concerned authorities should not take any action against actor Rakhi Sawant.
An FIR was lodged against her at Prem Nagar police station in Jhansi last year in connection with the death of Laxman Ahirwar who had appeared on “Rakhi Ka Insaaf”, hosted by Rakhi Sawant. In the complaint which Laxman’s mother had filed, Rakhi was blamed for making insulting remarks against Laxman, which instigated to him commit suicide.
Going by what was mentioned in the petition, the Jhansi judicial magistrate, via an order dated November 10, 2011, had issued summons in a criminal case against the actor. While granting time to the state government to file a response in the case, the court ordered to list the case after six weeks for hearing.
When we contacted Gopal Chaturvedi, senior advocate, Allahabad High Court, he said, “The case relates to Rakhi sawant having used the word ‘namard’ on her show “Rakhi ka insaaf” for Lakshman from Jhansi. Her mother, Savitri had filed a criminal case against Rakhi after Lakshman died alleging that he died on account of being grief- stricken and having been insulted publicly. On a petition filed by Rakhi, Justice BK Narain has ordered not to take any coercive action against Rakhi and the others who are accused. And the state has been given the time to file a counter affidavit till January”.
