Gere-Shetty kiss warrant Judge transferred

A judge who issued obscenity charges against Richard Gere for publicly kissing Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty has been transferred from his job, it was reported today.

Judge Dinesh Gupta, a magistrate in the north-western city of Jaipur, had issued an arrest order last week for both Gere and Celebrity Big Brother contestant Shetty after the kissing incident at an Aids awareness event in New Delhi.
