The committee members had lodged a complaint with Nakodar police and later with the SSP, Jalandhar. The committee had demanded that a case be lodged against the singer or else they would lodge a demonstration on the issue across Punjab. The members had raised slogans against the singer outside the SSP office and threatened to gherao the SSP office if the officials did not take action against Maan.
