Notably, an FIR has been registered pertaining to this matter in Delhi’s Adarsh Nagar police station on Tuesday under section 506 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). It is pertinent to mention that the offence under section 506 of IPC is cognizable and non-bailable.

This comes after Jindal had filed a complaint against Adil Chishti, son of Sayed Sarwar Chishti, the Khadim of Ajmer Sharif Dargah, for allegedly making derogatory statement against Hindu deities.

Following backlash, Chishti issued a clarification saying that his statement was only a rebuttal to Nupur Sharma’s earlier comments.
