Mallika Sherwat continues to court controversy for shooting a poster in which she draped herself with India's tricolour. In response to a PIL filed against the poster, the Hyderabad High Court issued notices to Mallika Sherawat and the Centre and has asked them to reply to the notice in four weeks. The poster relates to a movie named Dirty Politics starring Mallika Sherwat. In the said poster, Mallika can be seen sitting atop a beacon headed car, with the national flag draped around her body. The poster evoked a PIL which impugned that Mallika's act amounts to 'obscene use of the Indian tricolour'. The petition further stated that the State Emblem of India has been used for cheap publicity and that the poster insults India's honour. Apart from issuing notice to Mallika, The High Court has also asked the Central Board for Film Certification and the Union home Minister to reply to the notices issued to them within four weeks. Dirty Politics is reportedly believed to be based on the story of Bhanwari Devi murder case of 2012. Bhanwari Devi was nurse who went missing in 2012. Her dead body was discovered days later and police investigation unearthed murky details of sex and blackmail in the case.
