Mumbai: Kangana Ranaut seeks to quash FIR over farmer protest remark

Description

MUMBAI: Actor Kangana Ranaut has approached the Bombay high court with a petition to quash an FIR against her for allegedly hurting their religious sentiments of the Sikh community through her Instagram profile. The Khar police had registered the FIR on a complaint filed by Amarjit Singh Sandhu on November 23. The FIR is for an offence under section 295A of the IPC. Her petition filed through her advocate Rizwan Siddiquee said that on November 21 (two days after the announcement to repeal the three farm laws) the actor posted a story on her social media handle over the farmer protests, which she said led to the FIR against her by the Mumbai businessman. Her petition says “absolutely no case has been made out’’ against her. She moved the HC to protect her fundamental rights and liberties.
