It also observed that the narrative does not seem to insult the religious sentiments or beliefs of any specific group, as it is deeply rooted in historical resources. 

It is pertinent to mention that Jalandhar rural police had registered a case against the Dera chief on the basis of a complaint filed by Jassi Tallan, the president of Shri Guru Ravidas Tiger Force, on March 7, 2023.

As per a complaint lodged at Patara police station, Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh had made incorrect remarks about Sr Guru Ravidas and Satguru Kabir that allegedly hurt the sentiments of the community.
