The complaint was filed by a former Chairman of Delhi Commission for Karamcharis, Harnam Singh, saying that the remark was made by the superstar on television 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.”Salman had used the word ‘bhangi’ on the reality show that hurt the sentiments of Scheduled Caste communities. The court listed the matter for consideration and also sought a reply from the Delhi police on the complaint.
