The Cuttack JMFC (MP, MLA) Court has issued a Non-Bailable Warrant (NBW) against Kendrapada MP Anubhav Mohanty.
The court’s direction came in connection with the allegations levelled by his estranged wife actress Varsha Priyadarshini at the Purighat police station in the city on December 19, 2020.
In her complaint, Varsha has alleged that three persons, Anubhav Mohanty and his staffs Khagendra Sahoo and Sujit Dalai, were entering her room and were recording her pictures, videos and making objectionable remarks.
Based on the complaint filed by Varsha, a case under Sections 498 (A), 354, 509, 109 and 34 was registered and the court had accepted the case.
Subsequently, Anubhav had then filed a discharge petition stating that the allegations were false. After hearing, the court ruled that the matter would continue and time was fixed to frame charges against Anubhav and his two associates on May 10.
Anubhav did not appear and sought time for appearance owing to elections. The matter was to be heard on Monday (May 13); and as Anubhav did not appear and filed petition through his advocate, the court ordered the Purighat police station IIC to produce Anubhav and execute warrant by May 23, 2024.
