Complaint against Ranbir Kapoor for allegedly hurting religious sentiments over viral video

No First Information Report (FIR) has been registered in the case yet after the complainant asked for the actor to be booked under section 295(A), 298, 500, 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

According to PTI, Sanjay Tiwari, who filed the complaint at Ghatkopar police station through his lawyers Ashish Rai and Pankaj Mishra, claimed that in the video, the actor is seen pouring liquor on cake and setting it on fire while saying "Jai Mata Di". In Hinduism, fire god is invoked before invoking other deities, but Ranbir and his family members deliberately used intoxicants while celebrating the festival of another religion and chanted "Jai Mata Di", the complaint said. This hurt the complainant's religious sentiments, it alleged.

The Kapoor family reunites for the annual Christmas lunch every year but this year was special as Ranbir and Alia Bhatt introduced their daughter Raha Kapoor to the world on the occasion. They arrived at Sashi Kapoor's residence for the lunch and went on to bring Raha Kapoor to greet the paparazzi. First pictures of the one-year-old flooded the internet that day.
