Court issues warrants to Reema Sen, Shilpa Shetty

MADURAI: A local court on Friday issued non-bailable warrants against actors Reema Sen and Shilpa Shetty for ‘posing in an obscene manner’ in photographs published in a Tamil eveninger.

A non-bailable warrant has also been issued to the eveninger's editor Murugan. Judicial Magistrate II Seetharaman had been issuing summons on a petition filed by one Dhakshinamoorthy, an advocate here from February 15.

The judge had earlier ordered them to appear on March 10. Subsequent summons also did not elicit any response. The summons were also published in newspapers in Hindi and English.

However, the actresses failed to appear in the court. Hence non-bailable warrants were issued on Friday.
