A complaint has been registered in Jaipur against Khan for smoking publicly at Sawai Man Singh Stadium, where he was present to witness the IPL match between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders. The complaint has been filed by director of Jaipur Cricket Academy, Anand Singh Rathore in the court of the additional chief judicial magistrate.

"Smoking publicly is banned in Rajasthan since 2000. However, Shah Rukh Khan was smoking publicly in front of thousands of spectators. The actor was broadcast live while smoking on the TV channel which was showing the match," lawyer Nem Singh Rathore was quoted saying on behalf of Anand Singh Rathore.

The court will hear the matter on April 12,
