In a video statement, she had urged the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee to withdraw its complaint against her for allegedly hurting religious sentiments through her post. An FIR was registered on Wednesday.

Inspector D V Baldaniya (Karelibaug) told The Indian Express: “We have sought CDR files of cellphone numbers, via which the threat messages were sent to the complainant, from the operators. We have also sought technical details of threat emails she received… Further probe is underway… Makwana is provided with 24X7 police protection…”
