In a series of tweets, he said, "JOGI movie depicts the true picture of those 3 days of 1984 Sikh Genocide. This movie is very close to true events- Character Jogi’s role is close to a true story of Mohan Singh who cut his hair and reached off of @IndianExpress, which brought media and Army to Trilokpuri."
"Character ASI Ravinder’s role is close to the true story of Head Constable Jugti Ram who brought back 30 Sikh girls of Trilokpuri kidnapped by goons. The character of Counsellor Tilak Raj’s role is close to the role of Counsellor of Kalyanpuri Dr. Ashok, in whose area Trilokpuri was," Phoolka added.

He further said that "Dr. Ashok himself supervised the killing of Sikhs. I was handling all these 3 cases. This is the story of only one colony. There were hundreds of such Cong leaders who were assigned the job of killing Sikhs in different areas. Not even a single place in Delhi was safe for a Sikh."
Even if 'Jogi' movie was not a real story, and if the characters of Joginder Singh, Rawinder Chautala, and Tejpal Arora were not real, the film is inspired by true events of the 1984 Sikh genocide and the wounds are still fresh.
