Police complaint filed against IFFI jury head Nadav Lapid over 'The Kashmir Files' remark
 
In his letter to the police, Jindal wrote, "The statement given by Nadav is totally manipulated and with ill intention towards the Hindu community." Earlier, Lapid received criticism from the film's director and actors.
The film 'The Kashmir Files' is based on the 'exodus and killings' of Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley in the 1990s by Islamic terrorists. By calling a movie based on a true story of Hindu genocide by Islamic terrorists that happened in Kashmir as 'Propaganda' and 'vulgar,' he is abusing the sacrifice of Hindus in Kashmir and targeting the Hindu community by using derogatory words vulgar and propaganda upon Hindu killings just to incite hatred in our country, it added.
The complaint has been addressed to the Director general of police (DGP), in Goa and stated: "the content of the statement made by him (Nadav Lapid) clearly shows his intent of instigating enmity between groups. Being a social activist and Hindu by religion, my religious sentiments are deeply hurt by the statement made by Nadav Lapid." complainant Advocate Vineet Jindal stated.
 
The statement given by Nadav is totally manipulated and with ill intention towards the Hindu Community in the grab of targeting movie Kashmir files which became clearer when one of the jury members at IFFI Sudipto Sen through his Twitter account said that "it is completely in a personal capacity- nothing to do with the esteemed jury board", Jindal stated further.
The complaint was filed after Nadav faced intense backlash and criticism for his remarks on the Vivek Agnihotri movie at the IFFI in Goa closing ceremony, including from high-ranking Israeli officials.
