FIR registered against Kangana Ranaut
As per PTI, Himachal Pradesh Police on Friday registered an FIR against BJP MP Kangana Ranaut following a complaint over her social media posts on the Gandhi family that included “highly inflammatory insinuations” regarding the deaths of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and her sons, Sanjay and Rajiv Gandhi.
Superintendent of Police (Shimla) Gaurav Singh said the case had been registered on the complaint by Shimla resident Capt. Atul Sharma and that investigations would follow.
The case was registered under Sections 196, 353 and 356 of the BNS.
Sharma alleged that Ranaut’s posts, shared through her verified handle on November 10, contained highly inflammatory insinuations regarding the tragic deaths of Indira Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi.
About Kangana’s post
In a post on X hours after the release of the much-awaited book, Kangana described Gandhi as a “mysterious foreigner.”
“Everyone seems to be wrapped around little finger of a mysterious foreign national who bumped into older son Rajeev Gandhi in a cafe abroad and ever since became inseparable; younger son Sanjay was being formally trained by Mrs Gandhi, but he dies mysteriously, and his vulnerable young widow, Maneka, was thrown out of his house for random reasons and shortly after that the mother-in-law and husband were also killed one after the other,” she wrote.
Even in the end of the clip every one leaves but Maneka stays looking at Mrs Gandhi like a wounded little child seeking some comfort may be a little smile or a gaze in her direction, she stays hoping for one sign but nothing comes only coldness and slowly she disappears like she is there but doesn’t exist. Heartbreaking! On the other hand every one seems to be wrapped around little finger of a mysterious foreign national who bumped in to older son Rajeev Gandhi in a cafe abroad and ever since became inseparable, younger son Sanjay was being formally trained by Mrs Gandhi but he dies mysteriously and his vulnerable young window Maneka was thrown out of his house for random reasons and shortly after that the mother in law and husband were also killed one after the other. Leaving mysterious foreigner Sonia Gandhi as the head of government, wow!! How convenient!!
