Kangana had drawn widespread flak in 2021 for calling the Kisan Morcha a “Khalistani movement” in a social media post. An FIR had been registered against her at the time by Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) and the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) among others.
An inquiry committee comprising senior CISF officers has been established to conduct a further investigation.
