Post Multiple FIRs, Court Orders Inquiry Against Kangana & Rangoli For Defaming Tablighi Jamaat

Past few months have been full of ups and downs for Kangana Ranaut. After multiple FIRs against her and the partial demotlition of her Mumbai office, now her name has been embroiled in another controversy.

A police inquiry has been ordered against Ranaut and her sister Rangoli for allegedly defaming Muslims, particularly the members of Tablighi Jamaat in Delhi.

Twitter

Earlier this year, Rangoli had posted a few tweets criticizing the members of Tablighi Jamaat.

"A Jamaati dies of corona...when police went to check their families they were attacked and killed, secular media," she had written and added, "...make these mullas + secular media stand in a line and shoot them dead... f***k the history, they may call us Nazis (but) who cares. Life is more important than fake image".

Following this, her Twitter account was suspended. Following criticism, Kangana had released a video on Twitter defending Rangoli and accused people for spreading hate online.

As per a report on Mumbai Mirror, the court observed, ¡°Allegations in the complaint are based on the comments of the accused on (a) social media platforms. Evidence against the accused appears to be of electronic nature. Therefore inquiry at the hands of police is necessary for proceeding against (the) proposed accused. Such an inquiry will be helpful to know the roles of (the) accused.¡±

Since the videos are no longer available on social media, the court said that a professional inquiry is a must.
