New Delhi, Oct 28: Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan has been summoned by a US court in an alleged human rights violation case filed by a Sikh rights group.
The victims Babu Singh Dukhiya is based in Delhi and Mohender Singh is based in California.
The court has directed Bachchan to respond in 21 days after he is served with the summons.
Running into 35-pages, the complaint alleges that Bachchan instigated people for violence, saying 'blood for blood' after the assassination of the then prime minister Indira Gandhi.
In the past several years, SFJ has unsuccessfully tried to drag several Indian leaders to US courts in the alleged human rights violations cases.
Bachchan has been denying allegations of any role in the anti-Sikh riots, and in 2011 had even written a letter to Akal Takht pointing out that his maternal grandparents were Sikhs.
