Salman Khan's casteist remarks: Rajasthan High Court stays investigati

In a big relief to
Bollywood actor
Salman Khan, the
Rajasthan High
Court on Monday
stayed police
investigation
against him for
allegedly making
casteist remarks
during an
interview.
A petition was
filed in a Delhi
court on February
22, seeking to
lodge an FIR
against actors
Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, and others for
allegedly making a casteist remark during
the promotion of the movie Tiger Zinda Hai.
The court listed the matter for
consideration for February 27 and also
sought a reply from the Delhi police on the
complaint.
The plea, filed in the Patiala House Court,
alleged that the accused persons had
"committed atrocity on the members of
the caste and insulted and humiliated them
by making the casteist remark.
The complainant Harnam Singh, a former
Chairman of Delhi Commission for
Karamcharis, alleged that the remark was
made by Khan during a programme on a
television channel while Kaif, "rather than
protesting at the offensive and insensitive
statement, joined the accused number 1
(Khan) in insulting and abusing the victim
through her conduct.
Produced by Yash Raj Films and directed by
Ali Abbas Zafar, the sequel to 2012's Ek Tha
Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai raked in over Rs 330
crore at the domestic box office. With
Salman and Katrina in lead roles, the film
also starred Kumud Mishra, Anupriya
Goenka, Sajjad Delafrooz, Paresh Rawal,
Angad Bedi and Girish Karnad among
others. While the film was slammed by the
critics, Salman's fans left no stone unturned
in making the film a success.
