You are a witness that I did not allow anyone to touch her body. It took you 17 years to identify her real face but I got to know in 17 days that she wears khaki underp****," Khan had said on Sunday.An FIR was filed against the SP leader for his derogatory comment made against the actor-turned-politician. PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti too had lashed out at Khan for his distasteful comment.The National Commission for Women (NCW) has also issued a notice to Khan, who has been debarred from campaigning for the next 72 years.
