Rajsamand court order police to book Rakhi Sawant over 'Modi dress'
Udaipur : Controversy queen Rakhi Sawant is in news again. Following the orders of a local court at Rajsamand, a case has been booked against the actress at the Kankroli police station of the district on Thursday. The police may now either issue summons to Rakhi for investigation or a team be sent to Mumbai to record her statement. A similar case was filed against her by an NGO called Progressive Women Welfare Society three months ago in Meerut.
The complaint has been filed by Prajit Tiwari, former president of the Rajsamand Bar Association who has accused Rakhi for disrespecting Prime Minister Narendra Modi by wearing an indecent dress that carries his images all over. Tiwari who is also a BJP worker held in his plaint that Rakhi wore an indecent black dress to a pre-Independence Day party in the US on August 10 that was organised by the Federation of Indian Americans to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Indian Independence.
“ Not only she wore it, but going a step ahead she posted her pictures on the social media which amounts to causing disgrace and humiliation of the prime minister. She did this intentionally because she was denied the Lok Sabha ticket from Mumbai” Tiwari said in his plaint. The lawyer also claimed that Rakhi’s move has shamed Modi and the BJP not only in the country but internationally and hence she should be punished. “ The case has been registered under sections 292 (obscene act at public place) , 293, 294, and section 501 (printing or engraving matter known to be defamatory) of the IPC and related sections under the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986” Laxman Ram, Circle Inspector of Kankroli police station said.
