The FIR was lodged by advocate Ankit Mishra of Congress Law Department at the Civil Line Police Station in Chhattisgarh's Raipur on Friday.

The head of the Congress media department had sent the video to all the journalists of Madhya Pradesh through the broadcast group. We have all the evidence."
Besides, another FIR has been registered against an unknown person in Khargone district of Madhya Pradesh who raised pro Pakistan slogans. The slogan has been raised at a turning point in Dhangaon village, Khandwa. The police have identified the location and the accused will be arrested soon.
