FIR filed against Kangana Ranaut for allegedly spreading ‘hate propaganda to incite communal violence’ in West Bengal

Recently, actor Kangana Ranaut’s Twitter account was “permanently suspended” after she tweeted on the West Bengal assembly election poll results. She was blaming the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) for violence in the state and also urged the BJP government to impose Presidential rule in the state. After her Twitter account was suspended, she started posting videos on Instagram talking about Bengal violence and Mamata Banerjee. Well, now an FIR has been filed against Kangana for allegedly spreading ‘hate propaganda to incite communal violence’ in West Bengal.
