A non-bailable warrant and attachment notice have been issued against Bhojpuri singer Antara Singh, alias Priyanka, and an event manager. The action stems from allegations of casteist abuse and criminal intimidation, connected to a canceled event.
Government counsel Shashank Shekhar Katyayan stated that the court acted after the accused failed to appear, regarding an incident from nearly two years ago. Complainant Rajendra Kumar claimed he paid Rs 1.70 lakh in advance for a scheduled program that Singh did not perform.
When Kumar sought an explanation and a refund, he was allegedly met with casteist slurs and threats by the event organiser. Following a police probe directed by the court, Special Judge Abid Shameem issued the non-bailable warrants. Further proceedings are set for March 14.
