The complaint has been made regarding a specific scene in which the Sikh character played by Saif Ali Khan removes his KADA and throws it away in an insulting manner.

The complainant says the director has put such a scene deliberately "with the sole intention of insulting and outraging the religious feelings of the people belonging to the Sikh community, to promote disharmony, enmity, hatred and ill-will between different religious groups, to provoke breach of peace by giving provocation and to severally insult the religious beliefs of the Sikhs."

KADA is considered as a revered and integral part of the Sikh religion and is treated with utmost respect and faith. It is part of five Kakaars, which is quintessential for Sikhs.
