The
Padmashri honor held by Saif Ali Khan might be taken away from him if the
authorities deem right, following a RTI petition. Khan, who is one of the
co-accused in assaulting a South African Entrepreneur, at a Colaba restaurant
in 2012, is a holder of the Padmashri, the civilian honor.
However, the
petition wasn’t solely about the actor but several other prominent
personalities who are given prestigious awards without any thorough background
check on them or even analysis of their criminal record or history.
Coming to Saif, the actor is
entangled in many criminal cases, besides the brawl at the plush restaurant.
Amongst the notable ones will also be his involvement in the Chinkara killing
case, the same in which superstar Salman Khan too is infamously stuck in. The Padmashri
was to be conferred on Republic Day and obviously thorough check up will entail
the RTI petition.
