Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut and her sister Rangoli Chandel moved Bombay High Court on Monday in the ongoing case against them. The sisters were accused of inciting communal violence and an FIR was lodged against them with the Mumbai Police.
Kangana and Rangoli have challenged the order of the magistrate court in Bandra, which was passed on October 16.
The sisters were summoned by the Bandra police for the third time on November 23-24. Kangana was summoned for November 23 and Rangoli for November 24.
These are the third summons to the sisters after they failed to appear before the police officials on November 10, and November 11 and before that between October 26-27. The sisters had missed the two summons since they were busy with their brother Aksht's wedding preparations.
On October 17, after taking cognisance of Munnawaral aka Sahil Ahsrafali Sayyed's complaint, upon the direction of the Bandra Metropolitan Magistrate J.Y. Ghule, an FIR was registered against the siblings. In his FIR, Bollywood casting director and fitness trainer, Sayyed had accused the two of spreading communal hatred, defaming the film industry, portraying the people working in it in a bad light with claims of nepotism, drug addiction, communal bias, attempting to drive a wedge between artistes of different communities, calling them murderers, insulting religions, etc, on the social media and through public statements.
It said that the Bandra police station did not take cognizance of the offence, after which the complainant moved the court.
Later, an FIR was registered against Kangana Ranaut and Rangoli Chandel at Bandra police station under charges of sedition and promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion.
The case has been registered under Section 124 A (sedition), 153-A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, prejudicial to maintenance of harmony) and 295-A (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings by insulting its religion) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
