An FIR has been registered against Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s brother Ayazuddin Siddiqui for allegedly posting an objectionable Facebook post. The complaint against Ayazuddin was filed on Sunday for hurting religious sentiments, which was a photo of a Hindu God.
The complaint was filed by one Bharat Thakur, who is reportedly an activist of Hindu Yuva Vahini in Muzaffarnagar.
Ayazuddin, however, rejected all charges and said he had confronted a man who posted a “derogatory picture” on social media.
“A man posted a derogatory pic of Lord Shiva. I confronted him about it and wrote you shouldn’t share posts that can hurt anyone’s religious sentiments. Instead, a case was filed against me. Charges should be investigated,” Ayazuddin told.

“The FIR was registered on the complaint given to us. I saw the post and all Ayazuddin had done was posting a sensible comment on a post that was against a religious community. However he posted the comment with an objectionable photo and that came into the notice of the complainants,” Budhana circle officer (CO) Hari Ram Yadav said.
Meanwhile, the Hindu Vahini activists also staged a protest in Budhana, demanding strict action against Ayazuddin, sources reported.
In 2016, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his brother were forced to pull out of a Ramlila show in Budhana town, after Shiv Sena activists opposed it apparently because he was a Muslim.
