Mumbai Court Warns Malaika Arora of Non-Bailable Warrant in 2012 Saif Ali Khan Hotel Brawl Case
A court in Mumbai has granted actor Malaika Arora a final opportunity to appear as a witness in the 2012 hotel brawl case involving actor Saif Ali Khan. The court has warned that a non-bailable warrant will be issued against her if she does not attend the next hearing on July 9. This warning comes after Arora failed to comply with prior summons and skipped a hearing on April 29, despite a bailable warrant already being issued against her. Chief Judicial Magistrate K.S. Zanwar remarked that Arora was “intentionally” avoiding legal proceedings, noting that while her lawyer was present in court, she chose not to appear.
The incident in question occurred on February 22, 2012, at a five-star hotel in South Mumbai, where Saif Ali Khan and two associates—Shakeel Ladak and Bilal Amrohi—were arrested following a complaint by NRI businessman Iqbal Mir Sharma. Sharma alleged that Khan punched him, resulting in a nasal fracture, after he objected to the loud behavior of Khan and his companions.
According to police reports, Khan was accompanied by his wife Kareena Kapoor, her sister Karisma Kapoor, Malaika Arora, Amrita Arora, and several friends during the altercation. Sharma also claimed that Khan and his friends assaulted his father-in-law,
Raman Patel.Khan has denied the allegations, asserting that Sharma provoked the situation by making disrespectful remarks and using abusive language toward the women in the group. Khan, Ladak, and Amrohi have been charge-sheeted under Section 325 of the Indian Penal Code, which pertains to causing grievous hurt. The court initially issued a bailable warrant against Malaika Arora on February 15, which was re-issued on April 8 after her continued absence. The matter is now set for further hearing on July 9.
