Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui's brother Ayazuddin Siddiqui has landed in trouble after a case was registered against him for allegedly posting a derogatory post on Facebook and hurting religious sentiments. The complaint was reportedly lodged by an activist of Hindu Yuva Vahini after which an FIR was registered against him. However, he has rejected all the charges.

Ayazuddin claimed that he confronted a man who shared the derogatory pic of Lord Shiva on social media. ANI reported, “A man posted derogatory pic of Lord Shiva, I confronted him about it & wrote you shouldn't share posts that can hurt anyone's religious sentiments. Instead case was filed against me. Charges should be investigated: Ayazuddin Siddiqui, brother of Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui.”

While talking to a leading daily, Hariram Yadav, Deputy Superintendent of Police in Muzaffarnagar, said, “Frankly, it looks like Ayazuddin had no intention of hurting anyone. He has not written anything offensive. All he did was to write something rejecting the offensive picture and post which was shared on the social networking website.” 

Reports further suggest that a strict action against Ayazuddin has been demanded by the complainant.

Nawazuddin is from Budhana town of Muzaffarnagar. He has eight siblings. On the professional front, the actor is gearing up for the release of Manto.
