"An Odisha actor is facing a police case for a controversial post about Rahul Gandhi."
The National Students' Union of India (NSUI) filed a police complaint against Odia actor Buddhaditya Mohanty for his controversial social media post about Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
The National Students' Union of India (NSUI) filed a police complaint against Odia actor Buddhaditya Mohanty for his controversial social media post about Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. State NSUI president Udit Pradhan lodged the complaint at Capital police station on Friday, demanding action against Mohanty for the post, which has now been deleted. Pradhan stated, "In the social media post, Mohanty suggested that after killing NCP leader Baba Siddique, gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's next target should be Congress MP Rahul Gandhi. We cannot tolerate such a remark against our leader."
Along with the complaint, he submitted a screenshot of the social media post to the police. The police confirmed that they have received the complaint and are investigating it.
Apologizing for his earlier post, Mohanty wrote on Facebook on Friday, "My last post regarding Rahul Gandhiji was never meant to target, harm, demean him in any way, or write anything against him. Unintentionally, if I affected anyone's sentiments, my intention was not this. I offer my sincere apologies. Regards (sic)." Siddique, a Congress-turned-NCP leader, was shot dead in Mumbai on October 12.
