Mumbai: A local court in Mumbai’s Bandra has issued directions for the registration of an FIR against Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut and her sister Rangoli Chandel for allegedly spreading communal hatred.

The court issued the order on a complaint, filed by one Sahil Ahsrafali Sayyed, alleging that the sisters through their comment on social media tried to create division between Hindus and Muslims and spread the communal hatred among the communities. Metropolitan Magistrate Jaydeo Y Ghule observed that on prima facie perusal of the complaint and submissions the court has found that a cognizable offence has been committed by the accused.

“The proceedings be sent towards the concerned police station under Section 156 (3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) for necessary action and investigation,” the court said in its order issued on Friday.

During the hearing, the complainant had submitted that Ranaut continuously defamed Bollywood film industry for the last couple of months as a hub of nepotism, favouritism, through her tweets from her official Twitter and TV interviews.

“She is creating divisions between Hindu and Muslim artists. She has tweeted very objectionable comments, which has not only hurt his religious sentiment but also the feeling of many film colleagues,” the complainant had submitted.

The complaint had alleged that Rangoli Chandel had also made an objectionable tweet to spread communal hatred among Hindu and Muslim communities. It said that the Bandra police station did not take cognizance of the offence, after which the complainant moved the court.

  1. Worrisome concerns of some personalities or persons related to them in film industry in news in October 2020.
    News reports suggest that near about mid-October , 2020 , well-known personalities in film-industry of India or persons related to them are in news for their worrisome concerns. In this context , it may be apt to refer readers to this Vedic astrology writer’s predictive alerts in article “ India in the year 2021 – planetary impacts interpreted” published at theindiapost.com on 7 September , 2020. In the said article , this writer has covered last four months from September to December of the year 2020 also , besides the coming year 2021 in relation to India. Relating to the period from about 10 October to 13 November in 2020 , this writer has made the following predictive alert for more care and appropriate strategy :-
    “ Cinema and entertainment industry could also be in focus for their worrisome concerns. The period between 10 October to 13 November 2020 is also the one when some powerful or rich organizations or personalities associated therewith in one or more fields such as social , spiritual , political in the country can be in news or focus”.
    It seems the predictive alert of this writer has been meaningful as also to the point.
