Court summons Ash, Hrithik for kiss in 'Dhoom-2'

MUZAFFARPUR: A local court on Friday issued summonses to Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan to appear before it on May 30 in connection with a kissing scene in Dhoom-2.

District Judge H K Shrivastava ordered issuing of summons to them after taking cognizance of a complaint petition filed by an advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha.

In his petition, Ojha alleged Aishwarya Rai, Hrithik Roshan, producer of the film Aditya Chopra and director Sanjay Gardi had hurt the sensibilities of the audiences by the 'obscene' kissing scene.

The court also ordered issuing of notices to Bihar government and proprietor and manager of a local theatre for allowing screening of the film despite 'obscene' content.

The summonses have been issued under sections 292 (sale of obscene book etc.) and 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of the IPC.
