Chennai: Well-known columnist and founder of the Swadeshi Jagran Manch S Gurumurthy, said today (May 31, 2005) that no arrest warrant was issued by a magistrate in Kancheepuram against him as was reported in the media.

<b>In fact, the magistrate refused to issue a non-bailable warrant (NBW), which only results in arrest and the police had blatantly lied to the magistrate that I was absconding from March 24 onwards and sought an NBW,"</b> he said in a statement in Chennai tonight.

"This became evident when my advocate inspected the records of the court with the permission of the magistrate. Yet, the magistrate issued only a bailable warrant to appear before him on June 6, 2005," Gurumurthy said adding he appeared before the magistrate today and asked for the recall of the warrant, which the court was pleased to do on furnishing a surety.
