The Christian community in Jalandhar has filed a ਪੁਲਿਸ complaint (FIR) against Bollywood actors Sunny Deol, Randeep Hooda, and Vineet Kumar Singh, along with two other crew members of the recently released film ‘Jaat’.
The FIR was registered at the Sadar ਪੁਲਿਸ Station under Section 299 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which deals with deliberate and malicious acts meant to hurt religious feelings.
The complaint has also named the film’s director Gopichand Malineni and producer Neveen Melineni. The film was released on April 11.
Viklaf Gold, who filed the complaint, said that the film shows disrespect towards Jesus Christ. He pointed out a specific scene in which Randeep Hooda’s character is standing under a crucifix inside a church, right above the holy pulpit, while ਲੋਕ are shown praying.
“We find this scene objectionable and demand that it be removed from the movie,” the complainant told the ਪੁਲਿਸ.
The case has now been registered, and further investigation is expected.
