On May 14, 2024, High Court took suo motu cognizance of Shah’s remarks and directed state police to register FIR. Consequently, he was booked under Sections 152, 196(1)(b), and 197(1)(c) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Later that evening, Shah posted a social media video apologising for the comments and calling Colonel Qureshi “nation’s sister.”
