Sanjay Tiwari, who filed the complaint at Ghatkopar police station through his lawyers Ashish Rai and Pankaj Mishra, claimed that in the video Ranbir is seen pouring liquor on cake and setting it on fire while saying “Jai Mata Di”.

In Hinduism, fire god is invoked before invoking other deities, but Ranbir Kapoor and his family members deliberately used intoxicants while celebrating the festival of another religion and chanted “Jai Mata Di”, the complaint said.

This hurt the complainant’s religious sentiments, it alleged.
