Mumbai, May 6
The Mumbai Police today completed the attachment of the residence of acclaimed painter M.F. Hussain in South Mumbai following the orders of a Hardwar court.
Police officials said the attachment notice was pasted on the door of the artist’s flat at Jolly Makers III building at Cuffe Parade in South Mumbai last night after the court order was received.
The police department is now looking for more properties owned by the painter in Maharashtra.
The order to attach the property came from the court of Special Judicial Magistrate K S Shukla in Hardwar after the painter failed to appear before the court.
For the past few years, Hussain has been living in London after Hindu right-wing activists filed cases against him in courts across the country for allegedly denigrating Hindu gods and goddesses in his paintings.
