AMN / NEW DELHI
A Delhi Court Tuesday sought a status report from the police on a plea seeking lodging of an FIR against Bollywood actors Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and others for allegedly using a casteist slur against scheduled castes.
The complaint has alleged that Khan had used the word during the promotion of his film ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’.
Additional Sessions Judge Sidharth Sharma directed the Delhi Police to file a report by the 5th of next month on whether any FIR has been filed in the matter in Mumbai or Rajasthan and the status of investigation in those matters.
The court also directed the police to verify the facts in those FIRs and see whether they are similar to those stated in the current FIR.
During the hearing, the complainant told the court that Khan and his associates were allegedly threatening him for pursuing the matter and added that even the ACP himself had threatened him.
