Mumbai, Nov 23 The Mumbai Police on Tuesday filed an FIR against Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut for allegedly hurting the religious sentiments of the Sikh community through a social media post. Acting on a complaint filed by one Amarjit Singh Sandhu, the FIR was filed at Mumbai's Khar police station under Section 295A of the IPC (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs). In the Instagram story posted on November 20, Kangana Ranaut allegedly referred to the entire Sikh community as "Khalistani terrorists" and said that former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi "crushed them like mosquitoes under her shoe". "Khalistani terrorists may be arm twisting the government today. But let's not forget one woman. The only woman prime minister ne inn ko apni jooti ke niche crush kia tha (The only woman prime minister crushed them under her shoe). No matter how much suffering she caused to this nation, she crushed them like mosquitoes at the cost of her own life. Lekin desh ke tukde nahi hone diye (but didn't let the country disintegrate). Even after decades of her death, aaj bhi uske naam se kaampte hai yeh inko vaisa he guru chahiye (even today, they shiver at her name, they need a teacher like her)," her Instagram story read. Kangana Ranaut posted the Instagram story a day after Prime Minister.
