The complaint was lodged after Hard Kaur attacked Mohan Bhagwat in her post on June 17, and called him a terrorist and racist. The caption following an image of Mohan Bhagwat read, “He is responsible for all terrorist attacks in India including 26/11, Pulwama Attack. The face of all problems in India. Constitutional casteism is a crime. You were banned by Sardar Patel ji after Gandhi’s murder by Godse. You are not a Nationalist.”
In her post about Ajay Singh Bisht aka Adityanath, she alleged that he was a rapist.
Reacting to her remarks, Shekhar alleged that since he is an RSS volunteer, he was extremely hurt by such social media posts against RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Inspector Cantt Vijay Pratap Singh said that an FIR has been lodged following the complaint.
