Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut and her sister Rangoli Chandel have been summoned by the Mumbai police in a sedition case.
Both the sisters have been asked to appear for questioning on October 26 and 27.
On the basis of the First Information Report filed against the two, wherein casting director, Sahil Ashrafali Sayyed, petitioned in the court that Kangana Ranaut was creating a communal divide between people of two communities and in the mind of common man via her tweets on Twitter, the Mumbai court has summoned the two.
The petitioner mentioned that since Kangana has a massive fan following and is well-aware that her tweets will reach out to many people, nevertheless she is creating a divide between Hindu and Muslim artists and maliciously bringing religion in almost all her tweets.
The complaint mentions Kangana's recent tweets where she compared the BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation) to Babur Sena, claiming that she is the first person to make movies on Jhansi Ki Rani (Manikarnika) and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and comparing Mumbai to POK (Pakistan Occupied Kashmir).
