Earlier in December, a notice was served to the actor for allegedly posting an objectionable video relating to former prime ministers Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi.
Lokendra Paliwal, Investigating Officer, Sadar Police Station, Bundi had told, “Rajasthan Youth Congress general secretary Charmesh Sharma has filed a complaint stating Payal Rohtagi has posted an objectionable video about JL Nehru, Indira Gandhi on Facebook on September 1. During the investigation, our team reached her residence in Mumbai. Later, we met Rohtagi at her parent’s home in Gujarat. We have given her the notice to file a reply in the case.”
This is not the first time when Rohatgi was under the controversial spotlight. Recently, she faced the brunt of her actions after she tried to paint the Hyderabad veterinary doctor’s rape and murder case as a Hindu-Muslim issue.
Many people on social media urged the Hyderabad and Mumbai police to take legal action against her for spreading communal violence.
