Case Against Marathi Actress Ketaki Chitale For 'Derogatory Facebook Post' On Sharad Pawar
NDTV
The Naionalist Congress Party leaders demanded strict action against actress Ketaki Chitale.
An offence was registered in Maharashtra's Thane city against Marathi actress Ketaki Chitale on Saturday for allegedly sharing a "derogatory" post on Facebook against NCP chief Sharad Pawar, with the party leaders demanding a strict action against her.
The post targeting Mr Pawar shared by the TV and film actress on Friday was purportedly written by someone else.
The post in Marathi makes no direct mention of the NCP's chief's full name. But it mentions the surname Mr Pawar and the age of 80. The NCP patriarch is 81-year-old. Comments like "hell is waiting" and "you hate Brahmins" are part of the post that allegedly criticises the veteran leader, whose party shares power in Maharashtra with the Shiv Sena and the Congress.
"The offence against Chitale was registered at Kalwa police station in Thane on Saturday based on a complaint lodged by Swapnil Netke, who alleged that the actress posted objectionable content against Pawar, and her post might strain the relationship between the two political parties in the state further and create trouble," a police official said.
