Bhubaneswar: The JMFC Court in Odisha’s Cuttack issued a non-bailable warrant (NBW) against actor-turned-politician Anubhav Mohanty on Monday for failing to appear before it for framing of charges in connection with a domestic violence case filed by his divorced wife and actress Varsha Priyadarshini at the Purighat police station.
The special JMFC court directed the Purighat police to execute the NBW by May 23.
Varsha had filed a complaint at the Purighat police station against Anubhav Mohanty and his two friends in December 2022 alleging that they forcibly confined her to a room in the actor’s residence in Nandisahi. Later, a police party rescued her from captivity.
Subsequently, the police registered a case against Mohanty based on Varsha’s complaint.
