An American brewery has apologised for putting a picture of Indian independence hero Mahatma Gandhi on its beer cans, reports say.
New England Brewing Company's move came after a petition was filed in an Indian court saying that the move had "insulted" the leader.
Gandhi led non-violent resistance to British rule in India.
He was assassinated in January 1948, months after India secured independence.
The brand carrying the image of the leader is called Gandhi-Bot, which is an India Pale Ale.
