Bengaluru, Feb 24: In connection with the defamation suit lodged by actor-turned-politician Prakash Rai, a city special court for peoples' representatives has issued a warrant against BJP leader and Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha.

The court has directed Mysuru city police commissioner to execute the warrant and produce the MP before it on March 19. This order was issued after Simha failed to appear before the court on February 23 as per an earlier order issued on January 21.

Rai had filed the defamation suit before a Mysuru court last year, wherein he had sought a token monetary compensation of Re 1 from Simha.

Rai had alleged that Simha, through his social media posts about the actor-turned-politician, violated his privacy. The case was transferred to the Bengaluru special court as per a Supreme Court directive as Simha is a sitting MP.
