Thursday, 7th August, 2014, 04:40 PM IST Padma Shri Saif Ai Khan may be stripped off his noble title.The Government is examining a demand for taking back the Padma Shri award conferred to Saif in 2010 the reason being a Mumbai Court has framed charges against the actor.
RTI activist S C Agrawal had filed a complaint with the Union Home Ministry on March 14 this year, demanding the actor be stripped off the award conferred to him as the Mumbai court had framed charges against him for an alleged scuffle in a restaurant. Saif and two of his friends Shakeel Ladak and Bilal Amrohi were booked for assaulting a South-Africa based businessman and his father-in-law, under sections 325 (assault) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code. However, when the Mumbai metropolitan court read out the charges against them, all three pleaded not guilty. |
