Karnataka court orders FIR against Kangana Ranaut over her tweet on farm laws
Bengaluru/IBNS: A Karnataka court has ordered an FIR to be registered against actor Kangana Ranaut over her tweet in which she had slammed the protests against the Centre's farm laws.
The court took the decision based on a complaint by a lawyer.
"The office is hereby directed to issue intimation to the circle police inspector of Kyathasandra police station along with (a) photostat copy of the complaint for report," the court said in its order.
Ranaut, who is a vocal supporter of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ruling BJP, had claimed in her tweet that misinformation spread on the new farm laws triggered protests across the country.
She also mentioned that those indulged in the act were terrorists.
"People who spread misinformation and rumours about CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act) that caused riots are the same people who are now spreading misinformation about Farmers bill and causing terror in the nation, they are terrorists," she had tweeted on Sept 21.
