Non-bailable Arrest Warrant against Richard Gere

In an interesting development, a lower court in Jaipur (Rajasthan) has issued non-bailable arrest warrant against Richard Gere for the controversial kissing involving Shilpa Shetty that shook the entire nation a few days back. It must be remembered that certain lawyers across the country had filed cases against Richard Gere and Shilpa Shetty. However, this is the first instance of any court summon against the actors.

It was also reported that the court has restricted Shilp's movement outside India. The court has fixed May 5 as the date for presenting evidence and recording of statements in this case. The new development is all set to open diplomatic tangles for the government. The government response is not yet known.

Shilpa's lawyers refuted the claim that the court has restricted Shilpa's movement outside India. They also denied of receiving any court summons. If found guilty, both Shilpa and Gere may have to undergo six-years imprisonment.
