imageBollywood actress Mallika Sherawat disrespected India’s National Flag in her controversial movie poster. On the direction of a city court, a case against the actress was booked at Falaknuma police station in old city of Hyderabad.

A police officer said a case under Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971 was registered. 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’, media reported.

Mallika Sherawat had wrapped a tri-colour ‘Indian Nation Flag’ on her body on the movie poster. She was seen sitting on the roof of a car with red beacon.

According to media reports, “Hyderabad High Court had issued notices to Mallika Sherawat and the central government. The petitioner alleged that Mallika's act amounts to ‘obscene use of the Indian flag tri-color’. He further stated that the state emblem of India has been used for cheap publicity and that the poster insults India'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 be.
