She was supposed to appear in court on Monday but she did not turn up, nor was any exemption plea filed by her lawyer. Hence, the court issued an arrest warrant against Choudhary.
The FIR in this connection was lodged by Sub-Inspector Firoz Khan on October 14, 2018, at Ashiana police station in Lucknow. Besides Sapna Chaudhary, the FIR named programme organisers Junaid Ahmad, Naveen Sharma, Iwad Ali, Amit Pandey and Ratnakar Upadhyay.

Thousands of people present at the venue created a ruckus after Choudhary did not turn up for the event and their money was also not returned.
