An official of the Rojgar Aghari Republican Party of India on Monday filed a fresh complaint against actress-entrepreneur Shilpa Shetty and superstar Salman Khan for using the word “bhangi” on a public platform, hurting the sentiments of the Scheduled Caste community. They plan to protest against the two celebrities if police does not take due action.
Kishor Kumar Masoom, the Vice President of the Rojgar Aghari Republican Party of India, told IANS that a new complaint was filed at the Goregaon police station here on Monday. The party had earlier lodged a complaint against the actors on December 23 at the Andheri police station.
However, since no action was taken by the police, Masoom told IANS: “I know that Shilpa Shetty said ‘sorry’ for her action on Twitter but that does not change the reality. And according to the law, they should get imprisonment of five years.

“So we are saying that if the police and law system will not take action against Salman and Shilpa within 48 hours, we, the Dalit Samaj across the country will protest and in a democratic way, will urge the authority to protect the law by punishing them for their wrong deeds.”
