M F Husain, the maverick painter, always amidst controversies, has been found guilty of hurting the sentiments of Hindus by a Meerut judge who has asked the cops to formally charges him and try him in court.
The order comes in the wake of a petition filed by Prem Pal Singh of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad on March 20 alleging that the artist had portrayed Hindu gods and goddesses in an "objectionable" manner in his paintings.
Singh's counsel Ramkumar Sharma told reporters that the court had found Hussain guilty under various sections of IPC in the case filed in the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate AK Pathak.
The art circles in Mumbai had a mixed reaction to the news. His detractors, not wanting to be quoted, said, “He did cross the line chasing controversies. This was bound to happen.”
