Jawed Habib Salon Vandalised in UP Over ‘Offensive’ Print Ad

Habib’s Kolkata franchise released an ad saying, “Gods too visit JH salon”. That didn’t go down so well.

An angry mob attacked a Jawed Habib salon in Uttar Pradesh's Unnao district and vandalised the property on 9 September, over a newspaper advertisement that was released last week.

Two police complaints had also been lodged earlier this week accusing Habib of "insulting and demeaning" Hindu Gods in a newspaper advertisement for his salon.

The advertisement depicted some Hindu gods waiting at Habib’s salon, with the caption ‘Gods too visit JH salon’.
