A social activist on Friday filed a complaint with the district magistrate against former chief minister Farooq Abdullah and actor Rishi Kapoor seeking registration of sedition cases against them for their remarks on Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK).

Sukesh Khajuria, a former member of the prominent citizen’s advisory committee constituted by the state government, in an application sought action under section 196 of the CrPC against them for “accepting PoK as part of Pakistan”.

In the application, he said they should be booked under section 124-A of the Ranbir Penal Code (Sedition) and other provisions of law.
