In Muzaffarpur, a local court has issued summons for Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai to appear before it on May 30 in connection with a kissing scene in Dhoom 2, which has now been cut from the film.

On Friday, District Judge HK Shrivastava ordered summonses to be issued to the actors after becoming aware of a complaint petition filed by an advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha.

In his petition, Ojha alleged that Ash, Hrithik, producer Aditya Chopra and director Sanjay Gadhvi had injured the sensibilities of the audiences with the "obscene" kissing scene.

Additionally, the court ordered notices be issued to Bihar government and the proprietor and manager of a local theatre for allowing screening of the film despite "obscene" content.

The summonses have been issued under sections 292 (sale of obscene book etc.) and 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of the IPC.
