Accused of disrespect towards religious sentiments. The origin of this incident is hidden in a viral video. In the video, the Kapoor family is seen celebrating Christmas by pouring liquor on cake, setting fire and raising slogans of ‘Jai Mata Di’.
Sanjay Dinanath Tiwari had lodged a complaint at Ghatkopar Police Station in Mumbai. According to Tiwari, this act of celebrating another religion’s festival with intoxicants and Hindu chanting was deliberate and disrespectful. His lawyers Ashish Rai and Pankaj Mishra have supported this claim.
