Th case was booked under section 295 of the Indian Penal Code at Falaknuma police station in the old city of Hyderabad. According to the Police Commissioner Anurag Sharma, the petitioner mentioned in his complaint that the religious sentiments of Muslims were hurt during the show. "Before proceeding further with the investigations in the case, we have sought legal opinion with regard to the jurisdiction and culpability," he said. He also added that the request alleged that the show has hurt the religious sentiments by depicting 'Jannat' (heaven) and 'Jahannum' (hell).
