A Delhi Court on Wednesday asked the city police about the action taken against Bollywood actress for allegedly defaming the Sikh community and farmers protesting through a series of tweets and took cognisance of the complaint seeking registration of an FIR against her. President of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee and National Spokesman of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) Manjinder Singh Sirsa had approached the court seeking a direction to the Delhi Police to registrar an FIR against Ranaut.

Sirsa said that the actress maligned the image of the Sikh community and protesting farmers, incited hate towards the community with ulterior motives and thereby committed acts prejudicial to national integrity. According to the application, she published an "extremely derogatory" tweet on her twitter handle to promote communal disharmony by labelling protesting farmers as Khalistani terrorists thereby hurting the sentiments on December 5, 2020.
