Kangana Ranaut reaches Khar police station in connection to her social media post on farmers

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut appeared before the Khar Police Station on Thursday after missing to appear on December 22 for questioning in the anti-Sikh post case. 

The Thalaivi actress was spotted wearing a floral printed white saree with a matching sleeveless blouse. She completed her look with a pearl necklace and cool shades.

Earlier this month had police issued a notice to her for questioning. Her counsel had told the Bombay High Court that she would appear before the Khar police on December 22. 

However, she failed to do so and her lawyer sought another date for actress's appearance.

The city police had earlier told the Bombay High Court that they will not arrest Ranaut till January 25, 2022, over her social media post that allegedly linked farmers' protests to a separatist group.

The police had made the statement after the HC said the issue involved the larger question of Ranaut's fundamental right to free speech and that the court will have to grant her some ad-interim relief.

The FIR was registered against her following a complaint made by some members of a Sikh body that claimed that the actress, through her Instagram post, had portrayed the farmers' protest on Delhi borders as a Khalistani movement. 

Amarjeet Singh Sandhu, a Mumbai-based businessman who was part of a DSGMC delegation that submitted a complaint against Kangana, had filed the FIR in Mumbai. 

In a statement, Sandhu accused the actor of making derogatory remarks against his community in a post on Instagram. 

The police had then reportedly booked her on charges of deliberately hurting the community's religious sentiments under Section 295-A of the Indian Penal Code.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Kangana has an interesting line-up of films that includes ‘Tejas’, ‘Dhaakad’ and ‘Sita: The Incarnation’.
