Overview

• The Jalandhar police have lodged an FIR against actors Sunny Deol, Randeep Hooda, and others involved in the film 'Jaat' under Section 299 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for allegedly outraging religious sentiments.
• The controversy stems from a scene where Randeep Hooda's character is depicted standing under a crucifix inside a church, which Christian groups claim shows intimidation and disrespect towards Jesus Christ.
• The complainant accused the filmmakers of deliberately releasing the movie during Good Friday and Easter to provoke the Christian community and incite unrest.
• Christian representatives submitted a memorandum demanding a ban on the film and issued a 48-hour ultimatum, warning of protests if no action was taken.
• Despite the backlash, the film's producers have announced a sequel, 'Jaat 2,' while the investigation into the allegations is ongoing.
