A second FIR has been registered within a week in Punjab against actor Raveena Tandon, director-choreographer Farah Khan and comedian Bharti Singh for allegedly hurting the religious sentiments of a community in a TV show, police said on Sunday.
The celebrities were booked Saturday evening under IPC section 295-A (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) after a Kamboj Nagar resident filed a complaint against them, Ferozepur SSP Vivek Sheel Soni said.
The complainant alleged that religious sentiments of the Christian community have been hurt.
On Wednesday, Amritsar police had booked Tandon, Khan and Singh on the same charge.
They have also been booked in Beed city of Maharashtra in connection with the show aired on Christmas eve. On Friday, Khan apologised.
‘I respect all religions, and it would never be my intention to disrespect any. On behalf of the entire team, Raveena Tandon, Bharti Singh and Myself.. we do sincerely apologise,’ the filmmaker tweeted.
Tandon too tweeted, 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.” (PTI)
