Bhubaneswar, July 10: Renowned Odia actor Partha Sarthi Ray was arrested on Thursday by Badagada Town Police following the issuance of a non-bailable warrant (NBW) by the Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) Court, Khordha, a senior Police Officer said.

The arrest stems from Ray’s alleged failure to comply with court-mandated conditions in an ongoing legal matter.

According to police sources, the actor had repeatedly ignored court summons and violated bail bond protocols, prompting the JMFC Court to direct immediate enforcement of the warrant. Ray was taken into custody and produced before the court earlier in the day, where legal proceedings are now underway.

The case reportedly dates back two years and includes serious allegations such as kidnapping, attempted murder, extortion, and circulation of obscene content. Registered at Kharvel Nagar Police Station, the matter had remained under the radar until Ray’s arrest brought it back into public focus.

Ray, known for his critically acclaimed performance in Hello Arsi, which won the 65th National Film Award, has also starred in popular Odia films like Phalguna Chaitra, Dalchini, Trikanya, and Charitra.
