‘Jaat’ controversy: FIR against Sunny Deol, Randeep Hooda in Jalandhar

The Christian community in Jalandhar has got an FIR lodged against film actors Sunny Deol, Randeep Hooda and Vineet Kumar Singh besides two other crew members of the recently released film ‘Jaat’.

The FIR was lodged at Sadar police station under Section 299 (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings) of the BNS.

The FIR has also been registered against film director Gopichand Malineni and producer Neveen Melineni.

The film was released on April 11.

Viklaf Gold, the complainant, has alleged that the film crew had shown disrespect to Jesus Christ. “There is a scene in the movie in which Hooda stands under a crucifix inside the premises of a church. He stands right above the holy pulpit where people are seen praying. We have objection to this scene and demand that it be cut,” the complainant told the police.
