A Gwalior court has issued a permanent arrest warrant against Dinesh Lodhi, son of BJP MLA Pritam Lodhi, after he repeatedly failed to appear for hearings in an attempted murder case.
The Gwalior Sessions Court on Tuesday ordered a permanent arrest warrant for Dinesh Lodhi, the son of Bharatiya Janata Party legislator Pritam Lodhi. The warrant follows a series of missed court appearances in a case that alleges Dinesh Lodhi attempted to murder an unidentified individual.
The attempted‑murder charge was first filed last year, and the court has since scheduled multiple hearings to examine evidence and hear witness statements. Despite repeated notices, Dinesh Lodhi failed to attend, prompting the judge to deem his non‑compliance as contempt of court and to authorize the warrant.
Legal experts note that a permanent arrest warrant empowers police to detain the accused at any time, without the need for a fresh order. The court also warned that any further attempts to evade the process could result in additional penalties.
Pritam Lodhi, who represents the Gwalior constituency in the Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly, has not publicly commented on the development. The case remains under investigation, and the police are expected to act on the warrant promptly.
