A Mumbai court has once again issued a bailable warrant against Bollywood actor Malaika Arora after she failed to appear as a prosecution witness in connection with the 2012 hotel brawl case involving actor Saif Ali Khan. According to news agency PTI the case pertains to an alleged assault on an NRI businessman at a luxury hotel in south Mumbai.

The incident in question took place on the night of 22 February 2012, when Saif Ali Khan, along with his then-girlfriend Kareena Kapoor (now wife), her sister Karisma Kapoor, Malaika Arora, Amrita Arora and several friends, was dining at a five-star establishment. The evening reportedly turned violent following an altercation between Saif Ali Khan`s group and Iqbal Mir Sharma, the complainant in the matter.
