New Delhi: He seems to be controversy’s favourite artist. Noted painter M F Hussain has landed in trouble once again for his “bold” depiction of Hindu gods and goddesses in his paintings.
A Delhi court on Tuesday summoned a Delhi Police Deputy Commissioner for failing to file a final report in a complaint against Husain for allegedly portraying gods and goddesses in an “indecent manner” hurting religious feelings.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Kamini Lau summmoned the DCP and asked for a show cause on why the investigation could not be completed.
This was despite the two chances given to the Delhi Police to file a final probe report.
"Do you want the people to come on streets? Why are you dragging your feet?", the court had said on February 7, while pulling up the Delhi Police.
The court granted police time till February 13 to conclude investigation and file a final report. However, the police sought more time, infuriating the court.
PTI reports that the sitting Magistrate had given the direction on February 3 based on ACP G L Mehta’s assurance that not only the investigation would be completed but he would personally ensure the filing of the final report before the court by February 7.
A doctor of Apollo Hospital, Ram Pratap Singh had filed a complaint accusing Hussain of hurting religious feelings by allegedly painting "nude or scantily-clad pictures of Sita, Draupadi and Bharat Mata".
