Mallika Sherawat booked for disrespecting the national flag

Hyderabad police on Thursday booked Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat for insulting the national flag.

Two citizens had filed a petition in the court, seeking direction to the police to book the actress for insulting the national flag in her upcoming film "Dirty Politics".

Mallika had wrapped a tricolour on her body on the movie poster. She was seen sitting on the roof of a car with red beacon.

The petitioner alleged that Mallika's act amounts to "obscene use of the Indian tricolour". He further stated that the state emblem of India has been used for cheap publicity, and that the poster insults India's honour.
