The complaint was registered at the Nalbari police station on August 8, 2026, by an organization identified as the Sanatani Bir Hindu Sena.
The organization alleged that comments made by Das regarding the Hindu epics, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, were offensive and hurt the sentiments of the Hindu community. The controversy gained traction on social media, prompting widespread public discussion and criticism from various quarters.
In a telephonic conversation with Asomiya Pratidin, Das addressed the allegations for the first time.

Das expressed frustration, characterizing the situation as a deliberate campaign of misinformation being spread by certain groups.
As of now, there have been no further updates regarding the status of the legal proceedings at the Nalbari police station. The incident highlights the ongoing sensitivity surrounding public discourse on religious texts in the region.
