Soft-drink commercial puts BCCI and players in soup

The Andhra Pradesh High Court has issued notices to Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, the BCCI, Pepsi and Sony Television for a commercial featuring a child who supplies the Indian team with soft drinks.

The petition was filed by a social worker who believed that the commercial depicted child labour. She said that the television spot violated articles of the constitution. The Justices presiding over the case asked for a detailed report on the matter.
