The Sikhs for Justice has become a nuisance for the Indian security agencies and has claimed responsibility for raising Khalistan flags on government buildings, putting up pro-Khalistan slogans outside walls of Temples and government offices and also spreading misinformation to stoke emotions among the Sikh people.

It is not just the Khalistan terrorists who have issued a death threat to Jindal.

In July 2022, Jindal received 'Sar Tan Se Juda' threats after he filed a complaint against Ajmer Dargah's Adil Chishty. He had sought protection from the Delhi police. Reports said that he had received an unidentified letter stating "Allah ka paigham hai Vineet Jindal, tera bhi sar tan se juda karenge jald hi," (It is the wish of Allah that you shall be beheaded).

In December Jindal had filed a complaint against an anti-Brahmin, anti-baniya slogan written at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) campus.

"I have come to the knowledge of the same from news reports and being a social activist and member of the Vaishya community filling this complaint. That slogans against Brahmin and Vaishya communities have been written on the walls of the School of International Studies-II building on the university campus," Jindal's complaint read.

Recently he also filed a complaint against Nadav Lapid for calling the movie Kashmir Files 'vulgar propaganda.'

In a complaint to the DGP of Goa, he said he was filing a complaint against Lapid for the comments made against the film during the International Film Festival of India that was held in November.
