Case against Amitabh, Abhishek over tricolour insult
Ghaziabad, June 17
A case has been filed
against Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan and his son Abhishek Bachchan in
a Ghaziabad court, saying they were seen covering their bodies with the
national flag in a manner insulting to the nation.
Complainant
Chetan Dhiman in his complaint before the judicial magistrate's court
said the actors were seen with the national flag during the
India-Pakistan World Cup cricket match in Adelaide on February 15.
Dhiman's
lawyer Sanjeev Sharma said the complainant and five of his friends saw
the mega star wearing the national flag in an insulting manner.
He said that by such an act, the internationally acclaimed cine star and his son downgraded India's reputation.
He
said the actors' act was covered under The Prevention of Insults to
National Honour Act, 1971, and the Flag Code of India, 2002, and both
should be summoned before the court to face trial.
