MUMBAI, July 10 -- Actor Malaika Arora was dropped as a witness on Wednesday from the 2012 brawl case involving actor Saif Ali Khan after she failed to support the prosecution case. The trial court also cancelled the bailable warrant issued against her after she finally appeared before it. The case stems from an incident that took place on February 22, 2012, when Khan and his group of friends allegedly threatened a businessman and punched him in the nose while they were dining at the Taj Hotel. Actor Kareena Kapoor Khan, Khan's wife, had accompanied him that night with her sister Karisma Kapoor, actors Malaika Arora, Amrita Arora, and some other friends at the time. The businessman also alleged that Khan and his friends also hit his father-in-law. The businessman in question is Iqbal Mir Sharma, who alleged that Khan hit him after he protested to the raucous chatter of Khan and his friends. The Mumbai police subsequently booked Khan and his two friends- Shakeel Ladak and Bilal Amrohi in 2014. The trial began in June last year. Khan, on his side, had maintained that Sharma made provocative statements against them and used abusive language referring to women. Malaika had applied for cancellation of the warrant after appearing before Chief Judicial Magistrate (Esplanade Court), K S Zanwar. The next hearing is scheduled for August 22....
