Arrest warrant issued for Indian artist MF Husain
Afp, New Delhi
A court has issued an arrest warrant for M.F. Husain, India's best-known artist, after he failed to appear in a case related to his depiction of a nude "Mother India", a report said yesterday. An activist in the city of Indore, in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, had filed a case there against the artist, saying that his painting offended the sentiments of Hindus, the Press Trust of India news agency said. The artist's lawyers had asked for the case to be moved to the capital New Delhi, expressing fears about the painter's safety in the central state.
