Overview
- The 48th Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate court re‑issued a non‑bailable warrant for actor Prakash Raj on June 12, and the matter is listed for hearing on July 25.
- The case began with a private complaint filed in 2019 by advocate K. Dilip Kumar alleging Prakash Raj was enrolled on multiple electoral rolls in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Telangana, including Shantinagar, Velachery and Serilingampally.
- The court in August 2025 found prima‑facie grounds to proceed under Sections 31 and 125A of the Representation of the People Act based on documents tied to Raj’s 2019 Lok Sabha nomination.
- A non‑bailable warrant authorises police to arrest and produce the accused before the court but does not prevent Raj from seeking higher‑court relief such as a stay or anticipatory protection.
- Prakash Raj has publicly denied the reports on social media and said he votes only from Tamil Nadu while the complainant says earlier police and the Election Commission did not act on his 2019 allegations.
