Reports stated that Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actress Munmun Dutta was arrested on Monday in the casteist slur case. She was reportedly interrogated for a few hours at the Hansi police station in Haryana before getting bail. Now, Munmun has issued a clarification. The actress told an entertainment portal that she was not arrested and had received interim bail before going in for the interrogation.
Munmun told the portal that it was just a regular interrogation. "Contrary to rumours claiming that I was “arrested”, I want to clarify that I went in for a regular interrogation with the police officials. I was NOT ARRESTED. In fact, I had received the interim bail from the Court already on Friday before I went in for the interrogation," the actress said.
Munmun further added, "The officials at Hansi Police Station spoke to me for two and half hours about the case and noted down all important details. They were extremely polite and well behaved. I have been cooperating with the police and will continue to do so."
Reacting to reports that claimed she was arrested, Munmun said, "I am deeply upset with the stories that are being spun around the case, just for headlines. At the same time, I would request media professionals to not create false narratives around the case. The clickbait headlines and thumbnails being used by several portals are deeply disturbing and unethical, to say the least."
Munmun is back in Mumbai and is shooting for Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah in which she plays the role of Babita.
