The controversy surrounding Diljit Dosanjh’s Satluj continues to escalate. Days after the film was pulled from Zee5 and public screenings in Punjab came under scrutiny, a petition has now been filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking action against the alleged illegal screenings, claiming they threaten public order and communal harmony.

Petition filed to stop illegal screening of Satluj

Advocate Vineet Jindal posted a copy of the petition he filed in the HC against the public screenings of Satluj on his X (formerly Twitter) account. He wrote, “By this letter petition before the Hon’ble Chief Justice of the Punjab & Haryana High Court, I am seeking appropriate action against individuals, religious organisations, and political parties involved in organising illegal public screenings of the film. Such screenings are allegedly being used to promote violence and spread hatred against a community, as well as the security agencies,” while posting it.
