After an arrest warrant was issued against Rakhi Sawant for allegedly hurting the sentiments of Valmiki community by calling the sage a murderer, she has apologised over the same in a video.
Rakhi said, in her apology, that she only said what she had learnt in school and that if she has hurt the sentiments of anyone; she is remorseful for the same. “I love you all. I love Valmiki Bhagwan,” she concluded.
At first, Rakhi Sawant thought it was an April fool’s prank.
“When I got the news, I initially thought it was an April fool prank. I don't know why I am being targeted. Maybe because I belong to the film industry, I am an easy target.”
She also denied having received any legal notice.
“I did not receive any notice or summon in regard to the warrant. I too got to know from the media this morning that police is coming to arrest me, because allegedly I told something wrong against sage Valmiki. I respect him and Valmiki community a lot. I don’t know why I am being targeted(sic).”
The hearing for the case is now scheduled for April 10.
