Indian cricket captain M.S. Dhoni was ordered Tuesday to appear in court over a magazine front cover that allegedly hurt religious sentiments by depicting him as a Hindu god, a report said.
A court in the southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh summoned him to appear on an unspecified date to testify in the case relating to an April 2013 article in the Business Today magazine.
The front cover showed Dhoni as the multi-limbed Hindu god Vishnu who was seen holding various products which the hugely popular cricket star promotes.
Two local activists, reportedly members of a hardline Hindu nationalist organisation, complained to the court over the graphic.
