Criminal case filed against SRK

The troubles surrounding superstar Shah Rukh Khan's Wankhede brawl just don't seem to end. Now, lawyer-cum-activist Indrajeet Singh Bhatia filed a private criminal complaint against SRK at a local court in Indore, Madya Pradesh, for his alleged involvement in the fracas at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai last month.

Bhatia filed the case on Tuesday under section 200 of CrPc (examination of complainant) in the court of Judicial Magistrate (First Class) Sangeeta Tiwari. Admitting the complaint, the court posted the matter to July 9. 

Bhatia also insisted that the court book Shah Rukh under sections 294 (obscene acts and songs), 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty) and 499 (defamation) of the Indian Penal Code. 

Earlier, the Mumbai Police on May 17 had registered a non-cognisable offence against SRK and three others in connection with the May 16 incident involving them and officials of the Mumbai Cricket Association at Wankhede Stadium.
