The sage Valmiki wrote the Hindu epic 'Ramayana'. According to PTI, a local court in Ludhiana has issued an arrest warrant against Rakhi Sawant for allegedly making objectionable remarks against the sage.


The warrant was issued on March 9 on the basis of a complaint filed against her for allegedly hurting religious sentiments of Valmiki community with her comments on a programme on a private television channel last year, police said.


"By doing so she has hurt the religious sentiments of a large number of his followers," the complaint said. "A two-member team of the Ludhiana police has left for Mumbai with the arrest warrant," a police official said.


On March 9, Rakhi failed to appear before the court despite issuing her repeated summons. The next hearing of the case is scheduled for April 10, 2017.
