As per reports, the actress was scheduled to perform during a Durga Puja function in Kolkata in 2018. However, she did not turn up. Now, in a clarification issued by her advocate Rizwan Siddiquee, he mentioned, “I, for and on behalf of my client Ms. Zareen Khan, would like to categorically place on record as under: That any warrant “inadvertently issued” by the Ld. Magistrate against my client, grossly appears to be a result of “some miscommunication”, as my client had on a continuous basis, been given protection by the Hon’ble High Court of Calcutta, in the said matter.”

The clarification given by Zareen’s lawyer also claimed that the actress has been a victim of fraud, as the organizers of the event deceived her into believing that the Kali Puja event was being organized by the Government of West Bengal through the Chief Minister, Sports Minister and Ex-Sports Minister of West Bengal. He claimed that while Zareen was already at the airport to take a flight to Kolkata, she realized the ‘fraud’ as she was pressured to come ‘totally unescorted’. The lawyer further claimed that Zareen then realized that the organizers were ‘fooling her through criminal impersonation’.  Read the complete clarification from Zareen’s advocate below.
