Filmmaker Karan Johar obtains notice in AIB case, Ranveer and Deepika

Mumbai: The Mumbai Police have issued notice against filmmaker Karan Johar to record his statement in connection with the controversial All India Bakchod (AIB) event that was held in December 2013.
The event was inspired by US celebrity roasts — an event where a celebrity is goosed and it featured Johar as the ‘Roastmaster’ or host.
AIB Roast was held at Worli and its video was put up online a month later, but it ran into controversy after social activist named Santosh Daundkar approached a city court in February 2014, calling the content of the roast ‘vulgar’.
The court then ordered the police to register an FIR and submit an investigation report.
The police said they will also issue notice against actors Arjun Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone.
The officer said Act 295 of the IPC has been added to the First Information Report, but the police need the permission of the state’s chief secretary before submitting the charge sheet in court.
