AURANGABAD: A complaint has been filed against Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam in Aurangabad district of Maharashtra for posting anti-Azaan tweets.
According to reports, complaint has been filed by Nadeem Rana, head of a local religious organisation, in Jinsi police station.
Sonu Nigam on Monday aroused public reaction when he posted a series of statements against Azaan terming it ‘forced religiousness’. However; he received a lot of criticism over his comments as people called him ‘disrespectful’ towards the religion.
Later, a fatwa was issued that anyone who Sonu Nigam’s head and places garland of old torn shoes around his neck will get Rs. 10 lac.
However; the singer himself stepped in and shaved off his head. He also demanded the cleric to pay promised INR 1 million who refused and said that they will give the reward only when the singer does rest two-garland of old torn shoes and tour around the country.
