Bollywood
actress
Mallika
Sherawat
has
been
booked
by
Hyderabad
police
for
disrespecting
the
national
flag.
A
case
has
been
filed
against
the
actress
under
Prevention
of
Insults
to
National
Honour
Act,
1971
and
this
case
was
registered
at
Falaknuma
police
station
in
old
city
of
Hyderabad.
In
her
upcoming
movie
Dirty
Politics,
Mallika
is
seen
sitting
on
the
roof
of
a
car
with
red
beacon
and
has
wrapped
a
tricolour
on
her
bare
body.
This
led
to
two
citizens
filing
a
petition
in
the
court
to
book
the
actress
for
insulting
the
national
flag.
Last
month,
police
in
Karimnagar
town
had
registered
a
case
against
the
actress
under
different
sections
of
various
acts
pertaining
to
the
state
emblem
and
national
flag.
This
was
the
second
case
booked
against
her.
The
petitioner
has
alleged
that
Mallika's
act
amounts
to
"obscene
use
of
the
Indian
tricolour".
He
also
felt
that
the
state
emblem
of
India
has
been
used
for
cheap
publicity
and
the
poster
of
the
movie
insults
our
country's
honour.
While
a
number
of
cases
have
been
filed
against
her,
the
actress
has
no
where
shed
light
on
what
her
next
step
is
going
to
me.
Media
is
eagerly
waiting
to
know
what
happens
next.
