The Union Home Ministry has asked the Mumbai Police to expedite sending of a report on the alleged brawl involving Padma Shri awardee Saif Ali Khan in a restaurant, which is pending since the last seven months.
The report was sought following a complaint from RTI activist Subhash Agrawal, who had demanded that Saif be stripped off the coveted civic honour in the wake of reported framing of charges against the actor by a Mumbai court.
The Union Home Ministry said it had sought a report from Mumbai Police on the alleged brawl and the report was awaited.
Similarly, the Ministry has also enquired into the complaint against another Padma Shri recipient Arun Firodia to the concerned tax authority, the response said.

"Film-actor is already facing several other criminal cases against him. An RTI response revealed that Saif Ali Khan, involved in many criminal cases, was recommended for the Padma Awards by 'Awards Committee' in its meeting without mentioning the name of the member of committee who recommended his name," Mr Agrawal had alleged.
