Wankhede brawl: Child panel orders FIR against Shahrukh Khan

The Wankhede Stadium brawl has returned to haunt Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, with Maharashtra Child Rights panel asking the police to register an FIR against him for hurling abuses in front of children "which shall cause mental suffering" to them. In an order dated March 18, Secretary of the Maharashtra Commission for Protection of Child Rights A N Tripathi directed the police to probe the matter and submit a report after registering an FIR under the relevant provisions of IPC and Juvenile Justice Act."Using filthy and abusive language before children shall cause mental suffering and also amounts to attack on honour of children. At the time of incident Shah Rukh Khan had actual charge and control over children accompanying him," the panel said, adding the incident constituted violation of child rights.
