A special court for women's cases, on Thursday, issued a bailable warrant against singer and music composer Ankit Tiwari, who has been accused of raping a 28-year-old woman on several occasions between 2012-13.
According to sources, the warrant was issued when Tiwari did not appear in the court for hearing, on Thursday. The court, in its order, issued a bailable warrant of Rs 1,000.
On December 19, 2015, the court had charged Tiwari under Sections 376 (rape), 493 (cohabitation caused by a man deceitfully inducing a belief of lawful marriage), 417 (cheating) and 506 (2) (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code.
However, Ankit&rsquo;s lawyers challenged these charges in the Bombay High Court, which allowed them.
In April 2016, the court had issued a non-bailable warrant against Ankit for not being present in the court on two consecutive hearings.
The singer, in May 2014, was accused of rape by a 28-year-old woman, who alleged that he did this on the pretext of marrying her. When he didn&rsquo;t, she filed a complaint against him. The woman also accused the singer&rsquo;s brother Ankur Tiwari of threatening her.
