Over copyright infringement, FIR registered against Kangana Ranaut
Actress Kangana Ranaut is once again seen engulfed in controversies. Mumbai Police on Friday registered a case of alleged forgery against actress Kangana Ranaut following a court order on a copyright infringement complaint filed by Ashish Kaul, author of the book ‘Didda: The Warrior Queen of Kashmir’.
Apart from Kangana, a case has been registered against Rangoli Chandel, Akshat Ranaut, and Kamal Kumar Jain at the Khar police station. Actually, Kangana announced in January to make the film ‘Manikarnika Returns – The Legend of Didda’. Ashish filed his complaint before the Mumbai Metropolitan Magistrate.
Ashish says that he owns the copyright of the story of Queen of Kashmir and Queen Didda of Lohar (Poonch). It is beyond imagination that a well-known actress has forcibly asserted her authority over the book and its story.
An FIR has been registered under sections 405 (criminal breach of trust), 415 (forgery), 120B (criminal conspiracy), and copyright law of the Indian Penal Code, on the orders of the magistrate, police said.
Kangana is already facing trial in Mumbai for her alleged inflammatory tweets. In the defamation case of lyricist Javed Akhtar, the Mumbai Police is constantly summoning the actress. In the same case, a warrant has also been issued against Kangana on behalf of the court.
Earlier, Kangana had made a controversial comment on Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation, on Friday. He had said through social media that Bapu’s children had accused him of being a bad guardian. It is mentioned in many places that he had thrown his wife out of the house because she refused to clean the toilets. He was a great leader, but perhaps not a great husband, but when it comes to men, the world forgives.
