Ludhiana Court Issues Arrest Warrant for Sonu Sood in Fraud Case LUDHIANA, PUNJAB – A court in Ludhiana, Punjab, has issued an arrest warrant against Bollywood actor Sonu Sood in connection with an alleged ₹10 lakh fraud case. Judicial Magistrate Ramanpreet Kaur issued the warrant after Sood failed to appear in court despite being summoned. The case, filed by Ludhiana-based lawyer Rajesh Khanna, accuses Mohit Shukla of defrauding him by luring him into investing in a fake Rijika coin. Sood's alleged connection to the case led to the summons for his testimony. The court order directs the Oshiwara police in Mumbai to arrest Sood and present him before the court. The next hearing is scheduled for February 10, 2025. #SonuSood #FraudCase #Ludhiana #ArrestWarrant #Bollywood #IndianCinema #LegalNews #Crime #Punjab #India

El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele announced that 40% of the country's prison population is actively participating in rehabilitation programs aimed at repaying their debt to society. In return for their efforts, these inmates are eligible for reduced sentences. This initiative is part of Bukele's broader strategy to reform the nation's penal system and reintegrate former offenders into the community. The rehabilitation programs include vocational training, educational courses, and community service, providing inmates with skills and opportunities to facilitate their reintegration upon release. This approach aligns with Bukele's ongoing efforts to reduce crime and improve public safety in El Salvador. Since implementing these measures, the country has observed a significant decrease in crime rates, contributing to El Salvador's transformation into one of the safest nations in the Western Hemisphere. #news
