Mumbai Police on Saturday registered an FIR against actor Kangana Ranaut and her sister Rangoli Chandel for allegedly inciting enmity between different communities and other charges, reported news agency PTI. 

According to a PTI report, Bandra Police registered an FIR on the directions of the court. They two are booked under IPC sections 153A (Promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of
religion, race, etc.), 295A (deliberate acts hurting religious sentiments) and
124-A (sedition), a police official said.

According to Sayyed’s lawyer, the complaint alleged that
Ranaut has been defaming Bollywood for the last two months by calling it a
“hub of nepotism”, “favouritism”, etc, through her tweets
and television interviews.

She also tweeted “very objectionable” comments,
which not only hurt his religious sentiments, but also the feelings of many
artists and she was trying to divide artists on communal lines, the complaint read.

“Her sister, too, has made objectionable comments on social
media to spread communal tension between two religious groups,” he said.

Metropolitan magistrate Jaydeo Y Ghule said in the order on
Friday that prima facie “cognisable offence” has been committed by
the accused, and directed the police to initiate necessary action and
investigation against the actor and her sister, reported PTI.

“Allegations are based upon the comments made on
electronic media- Twitter and interviews- and a thorough investigation by an
expert is necessary,” the court said.

The complaint also referred to Ranaut’s tweet where she
referred to Mumbai as “POK” (Pakistan Occupied Kashmir) and which led
to her public spat with the ruling Shiv Sena in Maharashtra.
