On Monday, a city court ordered Bollywood actress Zareen Khan that she cannot travel abroad without its permission in connection with a cheating case registered at Narkeldanga police station here.

After hearing Khan's counsel, the Sealdah court granted her interim bail till December 26 on a personal bond of Rs. 30,000 and stopped her from leaving the country without obtaining prior permission from Kolkata Police.

Zareen Khan, who came to Kolkata from Mumbai, was also directed by the court to appear before it at every hearing.

The case dates back to 2018 when the actress allegedly took an advance of around Rs. 12 lakhs to perform at a Durga Puja function here. She, however, did not turn up following which the organisers complained to her and her manager at Narkeldanga police station.

In September, the court issued an arrest warrant against Zareen Khan in connection with the case.
