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
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
has
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
Bengal's
Chief
Minister
Mamata
Banerjee
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
Kangana'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.
Notably,
a
Twitter
spokesperson
also
opened
up
about
Kangana's
account
suspension
and
said
it
was
"constantly
provoking
anger
and
violence,
which
was
diminishing
the
value
of
global
public
conversation
on
the
platform."
This
is
not
the
first
time
an
FIR
has
been
filed
against
Kangana
for
her
posts
and
statements
on
social
media
platforms.
Earlier,
complaints
were
filed
against
her
with
Mumbai
police
for
allegedly
enticing
hate
against
a
community.
On
the
work
front,
Kangana
is
awaiting
the
release
of
Thalaivi
which
has
been
postponed
due
to
the
pandemic.
She
will
also
be
seen
in
Tejas,
Dhaakad,
and
Manikarnika
Returns:
The
Legend
Of
Didda.
Kangana
recently
also
signed
an
untitled
project
in
which
she
will
be
seen
playing
the
role
of
former
Prime
Minister
Indira
Gandhi.
