Complaint filed against Kangana Ranaut over Social Media post

Shimla, Nov 12,

A criminal complaint has been filed with the Himachal Pradesh Director General of Police against BJP MP Kangana Ranaut over a social media post allegedly making provocative insinuations about the deaths of former Prime Ministers Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, and Sanjay Gandhi.

The complaint, lodged by Capt. Atul Sharma, seeks registration of an FIR and a time-bound cyber-forensic investigation into a post published on November 10 through Ranaut’s verified social media handle @KanganaTeam.

The complainant has alleged that the post contained inflammatory and unsubstantiated insinuations linking the Gandhi family’s tragedies with subsequent political developments, including references to Sonia Gandhi and Maneka Gandhi.

Invoking Sections 196, 197 and 353 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, read with Section 173 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), the complaint alleges that the publication could disturb public harmony and create hostility.

The complainant has urged police to preserve digital evidence, authenticate the post and examine its contents through a cyber-forensic investigation.

Till the filing of this report there was no confirmation of FIR registration in the complaint material provided.
