The complaint alleges that Nishu's social media posts insult Hindu gods, violating Section 299 and Section 196 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and IT Act provisions. Advocate-on-Record Amita Sachdeva filed the complaint, stating that she viewed Nishu's X (formerly Twitter) account while at the Supreme Court and found the posts offensive to Hindu beliefs. Four posts, published between September 2023 and August 2026, allegedly insulted Bhagwan Shiv, Bhagwan Shri Krishna, Maa Saraswati, and Maa Durga. Sachdeva has requested the preservation of the posts, associated media, and other electronic evidence to prevent further circulation.",
