What's the story

While the controversy surrounding her marriage settled recently, the Mumbai Police on Thursday detained actor Rakhi Sawant, following a case filed by fellow actor Sherlyn Chopra.

Sawant was brought to the Amboli Police Station in Andheri East for further questioning in the matter.

For the unversed, both Chopra and Sawant had filed cases of sexual harassment and defamation against each other in November 2022.

Context

Why does this story matter?

In November, the two indulged in a war of words after Chopra accused filmmaker Sajid Khan of sexual harassment. Reacting to Chopra's allegations, Sawant had allegedly made derogatory and defamatory comments against her.

Following this, Chopra filed an FIR with the police on November 8. A case under IPC Sections 354A, 500, and 509, and IT Act's Section 67, was filed against Sawant.
