Indian Capitan Mahendra Singh
Dhoni was issued an arrest warrant by the Andhra Pradesh local court in
Anantapur district on Tuesday for allegedly hurting the religious sentiments of
Hindus.
The arrest warrant was issued
because M.S. Dhoni did not appear in the court though they have given three
summons earlier. On July 16th Dhoni has be presented in the court
and the order were passed to the police.
The case is related to a picture
on the cover of a magazine. Business Today in its April 2013 edition had
carried the picture. Dhoni was portrayed as Hindu god Vishnu with a sub title
"God of Big Deals" and holding products of several companies
including a shoe in his hand.
In February a local leader of
Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) Y. Shyam Sunder has filed a petition in the court
against Dhoni saying that he had hurt the sentiments of Hindus by denigrating a
Hindu god.
On Tuesday hearing the court has issued the arrest warrant
against the Indian cricketer as he did not attend the court though they have given
three summons earlier.
Similar petitions against M.S Dhoni were filed in Delhi,
Pune and other cities.
