Overview
- “The Karnataka High Court, which ruled Saturday, quashed the case after taking on record Ranveer Singh’s revised unconditional apology and his pledge to seek forgiveness at Mysuru’s Chamundeshwari temple.
- Justice M. Nagaprasanna said the disposal will include an admonition of the actor and recorded a four-week window for the temple visit, with the formal order to follow.
- The FIR stemmed from a November 2025 IFFI stage bit in Goa where Singh mimicked a sacred daiva performance linked to Kantara and referred to the deity as a “female ghost,” drawing complaints from devotees.
- Advocate Prashanth Methal’s private complaint led to BNS charges tied to promoting enmity and outraging religious feelings, and he urged the court to issue a strong caution so public figures do not treat matters of faith lightly.
- Singh’s counsel cited security concerns linked to the release of Dhurandhar as the reason no fixed date was in his affidavit, and prosecutors asked that he alert authorities before the visit, which the court bounded to four weeks.
