Jaipur: A court here
Thursday summoned Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan to appear before
it May 26 in connection with a complaint against him for publicly
smoking at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium during an Indian Premier
League (IPL) match, a lawyer said.
The Bollywood star had allegedly smoked while watching the IPL
match between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders April 8.
“Smoking publicly is banned in Rajasthan since 2000 under the
Rajasthan Prevention of Smocking Act. However, Shah Rukh Khan was
smoking publicly in front of thousands of spectators. The actor
was broadcast live while smoking on the TV channel which was
showing the match,” said lawyer Nem Singh Rathore who filed the
complaint on behalf of Jaipur Cricket Academy director Anand Singh
Rathore.
“The court of the additional chief judicial metropolitan
magistrate today (Thursday) issued a summon to Shah Rukh Khan
after taking cognizance of the complaint. The actor has been
directed to appear before the court May 26,” he said.
The lawyer said that spectators were being allowed into the
stadium only after frisking.
“Police was confiscating any objectionable items including
cigarettes while frisking. However, it seems Shah Rukh was allowed
to carry the cigarette packet into the stadium which is negligence
on part of police also,” the complainant said.
Shah Rukh is the co-owner of the Kolkata side.
