Kishan Lal, Chairman of the NGO Jan Jagriti Manch, filed a complaint with Police Commissioner seeking action against Tushar Gandhi. As a result, A case was booked against Mr. Tushar under Section 295 (A) (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class) of the Indian Penal Code.
