Nawazuddin Siddiqui is recently facing controversy due to an advertisement. A Hindu organization has accused him of tarnishing the image of Maharashtra Police. Demanded legal action against them.
According to the report of Free Press Journal, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti has appealed to the Mumbai Police Commissioner and Maharashtra Police Chief to take action against Nawazuddin. He says that by playing the role of a police officer in an advertisement for online gaming, he has damaged the image of Maharashtra Police. This organization has accused Siddiqui of defaming the police by promoting an online betting app in police uniform. His committee said the ad was insulting to law enforcement.
Maharashtra State Coordinator of Surajya Abhiyan, Abhishek Murukate has written a letter to the state DGP and Mumbai Police Commissioner, demanding action against Nawazuddin and online gaming app owner Ankur Singh. The letter calls for strict legal action under the Maharashtra Civil Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1979 and the Maharashtra Police Act, 1951.
The letter expressed concern that the same police which arrested the gamblers is involved in this controversy. Hindu Janajagruti Samiti has condemned this advertisement. He believes that if this issue is ignored, there could be an increase in advertisements misusing police uniforms.
The letter reads, 'This tarnishes the image of Maharashtra Police. Ignoring this may further increase the problem of illegal advertisements. He has also urged Maharashtra Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis to pay attention to this matter.
Murukate appreciated the hard work of Maharashtra Police. He further said that this advertisement shows that playing online gambling improves their skills. He also expressed regret that till now no police officer is taking action against this gaming application. He expressed hope that the Home Minister will pay attention to this.
On the professional front, Nawazuddin was recently seen in the film 'Adbhut'.
