A Delhi court today sought a status report from the police on a plea seeking lodging of an FIR against Bollywood actors Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and others for allegedly using a casteist slur against scheduled castes. The complaint has alleged that Khan had used the word during the promotion of his film Tiger Zinda Hai. The court also directed the police to verify the facts in those FIRs and see whether they were similar to those stated in the current FIR. During the hearing, the complainant told the court that Khan and his associates were allegedly threatening him for pursuing the matter and added that even the ACP himself had threatened him. The court enquired from the ACP why Supreme Court directions were not followed during the filing of an FIR.
