Overview
- The Kota Consumer Court sent notices to Salman Khan and the manufacturer and requested formal responses ahead of a November 27 hearing.
- Senior BJP leader and Rajasthan High Court advocate Inder Mohan Singh Honey filed the complaint seeking a ban on the advertisements for allegedly misleading consumers.
- The filing cites promotions using phrases like “saffron‑infused cardamom” and “saffron‑infused pan masala,” arguing saffron’s high price makes the claim deceptive.
- The petitioner says such messaging can influence young people to consume pan masala, which he links to mouth cancer.
- Reports note Khan has appeared in Rajshree Elaichi promotions but not in ads for the brand’s pan masala, which the complainant still considers misleading due to the association.
