As per the local media reports, Tushar Gandhi dubbed freedom fighter Bhagat Singh a ‘criminal’ after which Sharma met the Police Commissioner and demanded action against the former.
It is noteworthy that Bhagat Singh had declared he was an atheist through his famous article, “Why I am an atheist”, and the police are not investigating the religion angle to it.
ACP (North) Amneet Kaundal said that the complaint was filed. “We have not gone into the religion of Bhagat Singh,” he said.
