A warrant has been issued against film actress Mamta Kulkarni to appear before a court in Meerut on December 20, in connection with an "obscene" stage programme in Meerut three years ago.

Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Ashok Premi issued the bailable warrant after the actress failed to appear before the court on Tuesday.

The court had issued summons seeking her presence in the court on Tuesday.

Terming her state programme on December 20, 2000 as "obscene," a local lawyer had registered a case against the actress.
