For
those
who
don't
know,
a
case
was
registered
against
Chitale
in
March
2020,
based
on
a
complaint
filed
by
a
final-year
law
student
for
allegedly
posting
objectionable
comments
on
Buddhism.
She
was
arrested
by
the
police
under
the
Scheduled
Caste
and
Scheduled
Tribe
(Prevention
of
Atrocities)
Act.
According
to
India
Today,
as
per
the
complaint,
the
actress
had
given
six
points
with
comments
on
various
religions,
including
Muslims,
Parsis,
Jains,
Christians,
and
Buddhists.
Chitale
had
stirred
up
another
controversy
when
she
allegedly
shared
a
post
on
Facebook
which
contained
defamatory
comments
against
veteran
political
leader
Sharad
Pawar.
After
getting
arrested
on
May
14,
the
actress
had
filed
a
petition
in
the
Bombay
High
Court
challenging
her
arrest.
She
had
contended
in
her
plea
that
her
arrest
was
not
in
accordance
with
the
law
and
should
be
declared
illegal.
The
hearing
of
this
case
is
still
pending.
