Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court was yesterday critical of former India cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni in a case filed against him for allegedly "denigrating" a Hindu god as it decried tendency of celebrities signing ads just for money without giving a thought to the consequences.

"A celebrity and a cricketer like Dhoni should know the consequences of hurting the religious sentiments of people. He should have known the consequences of doing such ads," Justice A N Venugopal Gowda said in his oral observation. The complainant, Jayakumar Hiremath, a social activist, had alleged that Dhoni is seen on the cover of a business magazine as Lord Vishnu, holding several things, including a shoe in his hands.
