Kangana Ranaut & Rangoli Chandel Approach The Bombay HC To Quash FIR Filed Against Them By Mumbai Police

Kangana Ranaut and her sister, Rangoli Chandel, are not new in making headlines for irking the public or in the recent times being against the Maharashtra government. As per latest reports, on Monday, the siblings petitioned in the Bombay High Court challenging the Bandra Metropolitan Magistrate’s order and an FIR filed against them with the Mumbai Police.

The said FIR was filed against the sister following a social media post where they were accused of “trying to create hatred and communal tension.” For those who do not know, last month, the Metropolitan Magistrate’s court at Bandra ordered the police to investigate a complaint filed by Munawwar Ali Sayyed. As per this direction, the Bandra police station registered an FIR against the sisters under IPC sections 153A (promoting enmity between different groups on the grounds of religion, race, etc.), 295A (deliberate acts hurting religious sentiments) and 124-A (sedition).

As per recent reports, Kangana Ranaut and her sister, Rangoli Chandel, have filed a petition with the Bombay HC to dismiss the Mumbai Police’s FIR against them. Their advocate Rizwan Siddiquee told PTI, “Kangana and Rangoli have filed a petition in the Bombay High Court for quashing of the FIR and the magistrates order.”
