A court in Nangal, Rupnagar district, has ordered the registration of an FIR against Punjabi singer-actor
Miss Pooja's song ‘
Jeeju
’. The order has been passed under sections 295-A, 499 and 500 of IPC for hurting sentiments of the Hindu community by showing the God of Death, Yamaraj as a drunkard.
The complaint was filled by a local advocate,
Sandeep Kaushal
, and the presiding judge has ordered the Nangal Police Station to register FIR against Miss Pooja. However, she is not the only one being served a notice. According to reports, Punjabi actor
Harish Verma is also under the radar as he played the role of Yamaraj in the video.
The complainant allegedly said, “The accused Number 1 accepted herself at the start of the song that her husband looks like Yamaraj after consuming liquor. Neither Ved-Puran nor other religious books orally or written show that the Yamaraj consumes liquor nor the same has been heard by the complainant and others from their ancestors.”
According to the complainant, Yamraj is highly respected in the Hindu community and portraying him as an alcoholic is not acceptable. The song also showed the actor carrying a mace, which is considered as the weapon of Yamraj.
After going through the arguments, the judge said, “I have affirmatively accentuated my predisposition towards the contemplated facts through the vociferous and vituperative pontifications of the complainant, facts encapsulated and arguments put forth.”
In the light of the order issued, the FIR will be followed by investigation against Miss Pooja and Harish Verma.
