Faizan Khan who had also demanded a ransom of Rs 50 lakh claimed that he previously filed a complaint against the actor in Bandra for causing enmity between two religious groups.

According to the accused, Shah Rukh Khan in his 1993 film Anjaam was seen allegedly killing a deer and asking his staff to cook and eat it. "I hail from Rajasthan. The Bishnoi community (which is from Rajasthan) is my friend. It is in their religion to protect deer. So, if a Muslim says something like this about deer, it is condemnable. Therefore, I objected," Faizan told media back then.
