Jaat controversy explained

Meanwhile, a protest against Jaat has erupted in Jalandhar, Punjab for allegedly hurting the sentiments of the Christian community. Condemning a church scene from the film featuring Randeep Hooda, protesters reached theatres, but police intervention prevented their on-ground demonstrations from taking place.

The community leaders have submitted a memorandum to the Joint Commissioner, demanding a ban on Jaat, legal consequences for the cast and crew for allegedly hurting their religious sentiments and a 48-hour ultimatum to take action before they resume public protests.

Jaat released on April 10.
