    Kangana, sister to appear before Mumbai Police in January

    What's the story

    Actor Kangana Ranaut and her sister Rangoli Chandel will appear before Mumbai Police on January 8, the Bombay High Court has ordered.

    The order came a day after the sisters filed a petition in the court, seeking to cancel a First Information Report (FIR) registered against them.

    For the unversed, a complaint was filed against them for their alleged hateful comments on social media.

    Details

    Both were summoned thrice, but they did not appear

    Kangana and Rangoli were asked twice, on October 26-27 and on November 9-10, to appear before the police for questioning.

    But they failed to appear, saying that they were busy with their brother's wedding.

    After that, police officials issued a third notice to the sisters, asking them to appear for questioning in the matter on November 23-24.

    Allegations

    What are the allegations against Kangana and Rangoli?

    Casting director and fitness trainer Munawwar Ali Sayyed had filed an FIR against the Ranaut sisters, alleging that they were trying to spread communal tension through their social media posts.

    He also accused them of creating a bad image of Bollywood and bringing religion in all their tweets.

    The Bandra Metropolitan Magistrate court had last month ordered registration of FIR in the matter.

    History

    Earlier, Kangana's office was demolished by BMC

    On a related note, Kangana has been involved in a bitter war-of-words with the Maharashtra government over the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

    In September, Mumbai's civic body, BMC demolished part of Kangana's office citing illegal construction, a charge that the actor has denied.

    She later approached the court against the demolition.

    In fact, Kangana was also given Y-plus security amid this controversy.
