Bengaluru Court Issues Non-Bailable Warrant Against Prakash Raj Over Multiple Voter ID AllegationsPreviousNext

A Bengaluru court has issued a non-bailable warrant against actor Prakash Raj over allegations that he holds voter ID cards in four states, including Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana, which violates election laws permitting only one voter ID per person. The complaint was filed in 2019 by advocate Dileep Kumar, who claimed police and election authorities did not act. Prakash Raj missed two court summonses and denied the warrant's existence, calling reports fake news.
