Belagavi: A complaint has been filed against Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut by a city-based advocate Harshavardhan Patil for calling the agitating farmers in the country terrorists, and for promoting enmity between different groups or class and intentionally insulting the farming class through her Twitter handle.

Reportedly, the officials at the Tilakwadi police station, Belagavi where the complaint was filed are likely to register an FIR against the actor in the next 24 hours.

Kangana has been vocal about her views against the ongoing farmers’ protest and her tweets have created a stir on social media. Her heated spat with Dilijit Dosanjh over the farmers’ protests also grabbed a lot of attention and the micro-blogging site also took down some tweets of her tweets citing violation of the platform’s rules on hate speech.

However, social media users have been circulating a screenshot of one of the deleted tweets, in which she can be seen criticizing cricketers who were tweeting about the farmers’ protest while responding to a tweet by Rohit Sharma.

In the tweet, she terms the protesting farmers as terrorists – something that the actor has been doing since the start of the protests.
