The trio has been booked under Section 295A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) which pertains to “malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings by insulting religion or religious beliefs”.
Also a case was registered on Wednesday on the basis of a complaint filed by Sonu Jafar, Christian Front president Ajnala Block, along with video footage of the show aired on Christmas eve.
Before Farah Khan, actress Raveena also posted an apology on social media on Thursday saying she never intended to insult any religion.
Please do watch this link. I haven't said a word that can be interpreted as an insult to any religion. The three of us (Farah Khan, Bharti Singh and I) never intended to offend anyone, but in case we did, my most sincere apologies to those who were hurt. https://t.co/tT2IONqdKI
