After Twitter Suspension, FIR Filed Against Kangana Ranaut For Allegedly Spreading 'Hate Propaganda'
Kangana Ranaut's Twitter account was suspended after she shared posts about the West Bengal election and its aftermath. Now an FIR has been filed against the Bollywood actress for similar posts, allegedly spreading hate propaganda and inciting communal violence in West Bengal.
According to reports, the complaint was been filed by activist Riju Dutta. Dutta in the FIR shared Kangana's post from Instagram alleging that the actress has maligned the image of West Bengals Chief Minister Mamata Banarjee and urged that police take the necessary action against Kangana.
The complaint read, "Ms. Ranaut has posted several posts from her verified official Instagram handle bearing URL: http://instagram.com/kanganaranaut?igshid=2yruw6zd7j in the 'Story' section. She has also distorted and maligned the image of the Hon'ble Chief Minister of West Bengal - Smt. Mamata Banerjee. Hence she is to be charged against hate propaganda to incite violence in West Bengal."
For the unversed, after Kanngana's Twitter account was suspended, she shared similar posts on Instagram. While reacting to the post-poll violence in Bengal, Kangana reportedly took a direct dig at the Chief Minister of Bengal, Mamata Banerjee in her statements.
