Raveena
Tandon,
filmmaker
Farah
Khan,
comedian
Bharti
Singh
and
three
others
have
been
booked
by
the
Punjab
police
for
allegedly
hurting
the
religious
sentiments
of
Christians.
According
to
the
police,
they
said
something
during
Farah's
Youtube
comedy
show,
'Backbenchers',
which
was
objected
by
the
Christian
community
in
Punjab.
The
Deputy
Superintendent
of
Police,
Sohan
Singh
said,
"We
received
a
complaint
against
actor
Raveena
Tandon,
comedian
Bharti
Singh,
and
director-producer,
Farah
Khan,
claiming
they
hurt
sentiments
of
the
Christian
community,
during
a
television
show.
They
have
been
booked."
The
police
registered
the
case
after
the
community
protested
against
these
comments
in
Anjala
near
Amritsar,
on
Christmas
day.
The
contention
is
that
the
three
celebrities
made
a
mockery
of
the
word
'Hallelujah',
a
pious
word
for
Christians.
Sona
Mahish,
the
president
of
Christian
Samaj
Front
and
general
secretary
of
the
Punjab
Pradesh
Committee
said,
"This
has
hurt
the
sentiments
of
the
Christian
community
and
we
have
sought
stringent
action
against
them."
A
case
against
a
total
of
six
members
has
been
registered
under
Section
295-A
of
IPC
at
Ajnala
police
station
on
Wednesday.
