A court in Andhra Pradesh has issued an arrest warrant against Indian Cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and asked the police to produce him in the court on July 16.
Anantapur District sessions judge Vijaya Kumar issued the arrest warrant after Dhoni failed to respond to three earlier summons of the court to appear before it in an case of allegedly hurting the religious sentiments of Hindu community.The court was hearing a petition filed by a Vishwa Hindu Parishad Y Shyam Sundar after a business magazine published a photo of Dhoni in the form of Hindu god ‘Vishnu’ holding products of several companies including a footwear in his hands. The story title ‘God of Big Deals’ was published in April 2013 issue of Business Today.
As three summons issues by the court to Dhoni were returned, the court on Tuesday issued the arrest warrant.
