Mumbai: A Bandra metropolitan court on Friday ordered an FIR against actor Kangana Ranaut and her sister Rangoli Chandel for spreading communal hatred.
The complaint stated that Ranaut was “creating divisions between communities and spreading communal hatred”.
The complaint was filed by Munawwar Ali Sayyed, a casting director and fitness trainer, who submitted to the court that offences under sections 153A, 295A, 124 read with 34 of the Indian Penal Code have been committed by Ranaut and Chandel through their interviews and social media accounts.

Earlier this week, Karnataka's Tumkuru district police registered a case against Kangana for her tweet against farmers who were protesting against the farm laws passed by the Parliament.
Last week, a Tumkuru court had directed the local Kyatasandra police station to book Ranaut for her tweet on farmers. The ruling came after a complaint was lodged by advocate L. Ramesh Naik last month.
Alleging that the tweet amounted to causing provocation, hurt, enmity between groups and intentional insult, Naik had filed the complaint against the actor in the Tumkur court on September 28 after the Tumkuru police refused to entertain his complaint.
