Kangana's tweet against the Indian Police Service (IPS) officer comes in the backdrop of a spat between Moudgil and a popular Twitter handle True Indology over the origin of firecrackers and whether they were used in ancient India. 

For the uninformed, in an earlier tweet, the Bengaluru police officer shared her Facebook post stating bursting firecrackers was not part of the Hindu tradition as there was no mention of it in religious scriptures and epics. 

As the arguments between the two went on, Twitter suspended the True Indology handle. 

Kangana Ranaut did not take long to jump into the fight and tweeted, "She should be suspended, such cops are a shame in the name of police force #ShameOnYouIPSRoopa we can’t let her get her evil ways #BringBackTrueIndology."

She also tweeted, "Side effects of reservations, when unworthy and undeserving gets the power they don’t heal they only hurt, I don’t know anything about her personal life but I guarantee that her frustration is stemming out of her incompetence." 

In addition to this, Kangana also questioned Twitter and its chief executive, Jack Dorsey, over True Indology's Twitter account suspension. 

She wrote, "@jack @Twitter @TwitterIndia your bias and Islamist’s propaganda is embarrassing, why did you suspend @TIinExile ? Because he busted fake narratives of our history? Shame on you, waiting for the day when you will be banned in India, hope @PMOIndia takes action against twitter."
