The Bengaluru City Police have initiated a probe following a formal complaint against Aryan Khan, the son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. The complaint alleges that Aryan made an obscene gesture—showing his middle finger—to fans at a pub in the city.
Legal Complaint Filed by Advocate
The action stems from a complaint submitted by Advocate Owaiz Hussain S, a resident of Sankey Road in Bengaluru. He filed the grievance on December 5, 2025, addressing it to multiple high-ranking officials.
The complaint was directed to the Director General & Inspector General of Police (DG&IGP), the Bengaluru City Police Commissioner, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central Division), the Inspector of the Cubbon Park Police Station, and the Karnataka State Women’s Commission.
Incident Details and Viral Video
Aryan Khan was in Bengaluru to attend a private event. During his visit, a crowd of fans gathered at a popular pub to catch a glimpse of the celebrity scion. It was during this interaction that the controversial incident reportedly occurred.
A video clip, which purportedly shows Aryan Khan making the gesture, quickly circulated on social media platforms. The footage was widely shared, sparking significant online debate and leading to the formal legal complaint.
Police Investigation and Public Scrutiny
The Bengaluru police are now examining the complaint and the viral video evidence. The probe will determine the context and validity of the allegations made against Aryan Khan.

The development adds to the series of public controversies involving film industry personalities in India, where their conduct is frequently dissected both online and through legal channels.
