Actor Kangana Ranaut who was supposed to record her statement at Khar police station on Wednesday said that the probe officer has neither responded to her calls or messages nor reverted to the letter served to him after the Bombay High Court order.

Pursuant to the Bombay High Court order, actor Kangana Ranaut was to appear before the Khar Police station on Wednesday in connection with the FIR registered against her for her Instagram posts about the Sikh community and the Khalistani movement. However, Ranaut will not be making her appearance at the suburban police station.Last month, Ranaut was booked by the Khar Police under IPC section 295A (Deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs).Ranaut was supposed to appear before the Khar police station after her lawyer Ankita Chatterjee had made a statement that she would be appearing before the police station on December 22. Ranaut had approached the high court seeking quashing of the case registered against her for her objectionable Instagram posts.
