Police have registered a case against unknown people for maligning the image of Sachin Tendulkar, one of the greatest cricketers of the world. An FIR has been lodged against unknown people for using Sachin’s name, photo and voice to promote medicinal products without his permission. A police officer gave this information on Friday. A case was registered by an aide of Tendulkar

The officer said that an associate of Sachin Tendulkar lodged a complaint in this regard at the West Zone Cyber ​​Police Station on Thursday. The complainant said that he found an online advertisement of a pharmaceutical company, which claimed that Sachin Tendulkar was endorsing its product.

 

 

 

Website created in the name of Sachin

Meanwhile, information was also given about a website ‘sachinhealth.in’. The interesting thing is that this website has been named as if it is directly related to Sachin. The website was promoting these products by falsely using Tendulkar’s picture. The complaint states that Tendulkar had never given permission to the company to use his name and photographs and was tarnishing his image, so he directed his associate to take legal action.

The official said an FIR has been registered against unknown persons under sections 420 (cheating), 465 (forgery) and 500 (defamation) of the Indian Penal Code besides the Information Technology Act. Further investigation is going on in this matter.
