The Bachchans have found themselves in quite a soup! A case has been filed against Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan (who recently put a troll in his place in style!)  in a Ghaziabad court for apparently “insulting” the national flag. The charges are that the two were seen with the tricolor during the India-Pakistan Cricket World Cup match in Adelaide on 15th Feb, 2015, and they’d allegedly covered their bodies with the flag in an insulting  manner.

Complainant Chetan Dhiman and his lawyer Sanjeev Sharma are claiming that by doing this, the Bollywood stars are ruining India’s reputation internationally. Apparently, they’d be charged under The Prevention Of Insults To National Honour, 1971, and the Flag Code Of India , 2002. Reportedly, the father son duo needs to be summoned before the court to face trial.

What can I say? People have way too much free time on their hands.
