Lyricist Javed Akhtar has landed in yet another legal controversy.
Mumbai police have registered an FIR against lyricist Javed Akhtar on Monday over his alleged remark against the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
The FIR was registered at the Mulund police station on a complaint filed by Mumbai-based lawyer Santosh Dubey.
The lawyer had sent a legal notice to Akhtar for allegedly making 'false and defamatory' remarks against the RSS in an interview to a news channel, and sought an apology from him.
This comes after Akhtar, drew parallels between the Taliban and the RSS. Akhtar had said the goal of RSS is the same as that of the Taliban.
