Overview
- The complaint was filed by Inder Mohan Singh Honey, a BJP leader and Rajasthan High Court advocate, alleging misleading advertising by the Rajshree brand.
- The petition challenges claims of “saffron‑infused cardamom” and “saffron‑infused pan masala,” arguing saffron priced near ₹4 lakh per kilogram cannot feasibly appear in a pouch sold for about ₹5.
- The Kota Consumer Court has issued notices to Salman Khan and the manufacturer and has sought formal replies.
- Coverage notes Salman Khan has featured in promotions for Rajshree Elaichi but not for Rajshree Pan Masala, with the petitioner asserting the brand association can still mislead youths.
- The complainant seeks a ban on the advertisements and raises public‑health concerns about mouth cancer, and he has additionally urged revocation of Khan’s National Film Awards, which remains a demand rather than a court order.
