From X Posts to FIR: Kangana Faces Legal Trouble

Kangana Ranaut Faces FIR Over Gandhi Family Remarks

Actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has landed in legal trouble over her social media posts about the Gandhi family. An FIR was registered against her in Shimla following a complaint over her remarks about Sonia Gandhi and other members of the family.

The complaint was filed by retired Captain Atul Sharma, a resident of Shimla. He objected to Kangana’s November 10 posts on X, in which she made comments about the deaths of Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Sanjay Gandhi. She also referred to Sonia Gandhi as a “mysterious foreign national”.

The complainant alleged that her comments could mislead people and create tension. Based on his complaint, police registered a case at Boileauganj police station under Sections 196, 353 and 356 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

Kangana’s posts came after an old video involving members of the Gandhi family went viral on social media. She also made comments about how Maneka Gandhi was treated following Sanjay Gandhi’s death.

Shimla police have confirmed that an investigation is underway. Kangana has not publicly responded to the FIR so far. What started as a series of social media posts has now become a police case, with the allegations still under investigation.
