Kangana Ranaut booked for alleged inflammatory remarks against Sonia Gandhi

Shimla, Nov 14 (UNI)BJP MP from Mandi Kangana Ranaut has landed in legal trouble after Shimla Police registered an FIR against her for allegedly making inflammatory remarks about former Congress president Sonia Gandhi and other members of the Gandhi family in social media posts.
The FIR was registered at Boileauganj Police Station on November 13 following a complaint emailed to Director General of Police Ashok Tewari by retired Captain Atul Sharma, a resident of Kasumpti in Shimla, on November 12.
In his complaint, Sharma alleged that Kangana's posts on her X handle, @KanganaTeam, on November 10 contained inflammatory insinuations about the deaths of former Prime Ministers Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, besides Sanjay Gandhi.
He objected to her portrayal of Sonia Gandhi as a mysterious foreign national and the alleged linking of the Gandhi family's deaths with her political rise.
The complainant alleged that the remarks, including the expression 'how convenient', were unsubstantiated and could promote hostility and disturb public tranquillity.
He sought a time-bound cyber forensic investigation to establish the authenticity, context and dissemination of the posts and the archival video attached to them. The controversy arose after Kangana referred to the Gandhi family while commenting on the controversy involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
Referring to her film 'Emergency', she claimed that despite extensive research for the movie, she could not understand how members of the Gandhi family were killed years after Sonia Gandhi joined the family.
Shimla Superintendent of Police Gaurav Singh confirmed the registration of the FIR and said an investigation was underway and relevant evidence was being collected.
The case has been registered under Sections 196 (promoting enmity between different groups), 353 (statements causing public mischief and false information) and 356 (defamation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, along with relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
