Farah Khan @FarahKhanAli apologises: And so, I would like to offer an UNCONDITIONAL apology for my tweets ref the homeless sleeping on the streets.

That comes after a district court in Muzaffarpur today ordered that an FIR be registered against the jewellery designer and singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya for their remarks against people sleeping on roads following the conviction of actor Salman Khan in the 2002 hit-and-run case.


The complainant had claimed that he had been hurt by the "derogatory" remarks of the singer which he saw on TV channels and read in newspapers.


In a series of tweets, Abhijeet had on May 6 said "Come out fraternity, support @BeingSalmanKhan boldly not hypocriticly Roads footpath r not meant 4 sleeping, not driver's or alcohol's fault (sic)." "Roads are meant for cars and dogs not for people sleeping on them." Jewellery designer and Salman's friend Farah Ali Khan had also sought to blame the homeless for the star's plight with comments like footpaths are not for sleeping.

Farah had tweeted: "The govt should be responsible for housing ppl. If no 1was sleeping on d road in any other country Salman wuld not have driven over anybody.  It's like penalising a train driver because someone decided to cross the tracks and got killed in the bargain. No one should be sleeping on the road or footpath. It is dangerous to do that just like it is dangerous to cross tracks. "
