The Maggi Noodle controversy has taken a new turn, with a Bihar court now ordering the police to lodge an FIR against Amitabh Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit and Preity Zinta. The three actors have been endorsing the Nestle Product, that was found to be having harmful elements in it.

The Bihar court has even ordered the police to arrest the stars if needed, adding to the woes of the actors now. Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Ramchandra Prasad ordered the SHO of Kazi Mohammadpur police station to also name as accused Nestle India’s MD Mohan Gupta and joint director Sabab Alam. This step by the court was taken after a complaint was filed by a lawyer who alleged that he fell ill after eating Maggi.
