The statement further read, “Our intention was not to hurt any religious sentiments. We deeply regret it and have taken a quick action of deleting the scene from the film. We sincerely apologize to everyone whose beliefs have been hurt.”
According to a report by The Times of India, a First Information Report has been lodged against the male actors, director and producers of Jaat with the Jalandhar police. The FIR claimed that a specific scene in the recently-released actioner has offended the Christian community under the section 299 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
While talking to NDTV the complainant said that the director, writer and producer deliberately released this film during the holy month of Good Friday and Easter so that the community gets angry and riots break out in the entire country and unrest is spread. He also demanded a blanket ban on the film.
