Swara Bhasker has been trending on Twitter since last two days, for some wrong reasons. It all started on Wednesday when she shared the viral video of an old Muslim man being beaten up and being forcefully made to chop off his beard.

Sharing the video, Swara wrote that the old man was being forced to chant ‘Jai Shree Ram’. However, Twitter users noticed that the video had no sound at all. Several users slammed Swara for spreading fake news. Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit also reacted to Swara’s post and demanded FIR against the actress for inciting communal violence.

Following this, a police complaint was filed against Swara Bhasker and a few others who had shared that video. As per the complaint, these people are said to have knowingly shared the false information and have thereby committed offenses under IPC Sections 153, 153A, 295A, 505, 120B and 34.

The FIR read, “The tweets did not indicate their personal opinions, instead showed wrong intentions of the users to initiate conspiracy against religious harmony in the country to encourage hate and enmity between the religious groups. Also, these tweets were shared on social media at a very large scale and thousands of users have liked, quoted, and also re-tweeted the same.”

Meanwhile, taking an indirect dig on the issue, Swara posted a picture of having noodles in a pan on Thursday morning and wrote, “It’s 5:40 am. I’ve literally cooked Maggie surreptitiously in the dark, and am now eating it out of the same bartan sitting on the floor. The future does not look bright! #insomnia.”
