In his written police statement, Bagga mentions that the "Kada is considered as a revered and integral part of Sikh religion and it is treated with utmost respect and faith."
He also added in his statement that "The accused deliberately and intentionally depicted the scene in his web series with sole intention of insulting and outraging religious feelings of the people belonging to the Sikh community to promote disharmony, enmity, hatred and ill-will between different religious groups to provoke breach of peace by giving provocation and to severely insult the religious beliefs of the Sikhs."
