Actress Payal Rohatgi is often known to make headlines for her explosive comments. Now, she has landed in trouble once again. An FIR has been registered against her in Pune for allegedly making derogatory comments against the Nehru-Gandhi family in an alleged video on social media. The complaint has been lodged at Shivaji Nagar police station by the Pune City Congress Committee.
Pune City Congress spokesperson Ramesh Iyer told a leading daily, "Payal Rohatgi has repeatedly made derogatory comments about the Nehru Gandhi family. We came across one such post, which we believe has been made recently. Subsequently, the office-bearers of the Pune City Congress committee, including Ramesh Bagwe, Mohan Joshi, Datta Bahirat, Sangeeta Tiwari and myself, met senior police officials from the cyber crime cell. A formal complaint in the case was given by Sangeeta Tiwari. The police have acted on it and a case has been registered at Shivaji Nagar police station."
As per the daily's report, Payal has been booked under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code including 153A pertaining to promoting communal disharmony.
In the month of June, Payal was arrested by the Ahmedabad Police for threatening and hurling abuse at her society's chairperson on social media.
