What exactly happened
According to reports, advocate Ramesh Naik filed the complaint over the Queen actress's 21 September tweet. In his plea, Naik alleged that Kangana Ranaut’s tweet has a clear intention to injure the people who are opposing the farm laws, “wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riots and promote the culture of non-violence in the young minds of society.”
“....this posting on twitter account of the accused posted by her may lead to collision between the people of different group believe in different ideology. It seems that the government authorities have turned a blind eye to the same and does not have any established measures or rules and guidelines to control and regulate the same. On the bare perusal of all these content it is more than evident that the government is least bothered and as usual waiting for some dangerous consequences to happen before taking some appropriate actions,” he said, as per reports.
Here's Kangana's tweet
Kangana had tweeted on 21 September from her official Twitter handle, which goes by the name -- @KanganaTeam: "People who spread misinformation and rumours about CAA that caused riots are the same people who are now spreading misinformation about Farmers bill and causing terror in the nation, they are terrorists. You very well know what I said but simply like to spread misinformation."
