KOCHI: The Kerala High Court has restrained the Crime Branch from arresting actor Sunny Leone in connection with an alleged financial fraud of Rs 29 lakhs.
A bench of Justice Ashok Menon ordered this while considering the anticipatory bail plea of the actor.
The court allowed the Crime Branch to interrogate her but only after serving a notice under 41A of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) to her.
In the last week, the Crime Branch recorded her statement at Thiruvananthapuram in the case. R Shiyas, a native of Perumbavoor, had lodged a complaint alleging that Sunny Leone accepted Rs 29 lakh promising to participate in two programmes but failed to turn up.
