Police complaint filed against Ranbir Kapoor for 'hurting sentiments during Christmas celebrations

A complaint has been filed against superstar Ranbir Kapoor  and his family members at the Ghatkopar police station in Mumbai  for allegedly hurting religious sentiments over a Christmas celebration video. According to a Hindustan Times report, the complainant, Sanjay Tiwari, contended in the complaint that the video shows the actor pouring liquor on a cake and setting it on fire while uttering the phrase “Jai Mata Di.”
