Former Meghalaya Governor Tathagata Roy has filed a police complaint against Bengali actor Saayoni Ghosh for ‘hurting sentiments’ of Hindus by sharing a meme on Twitter.
Sayoni, however, defended herself saying that the incident took place in February 2015 and she had not posted the meme. Ghosh added that someone hacked her account in 2015 and posted the controversial meme.
“… You have thus committed an offence under Section 295A IPC… Now, be prepared for the consequences. Sayani, you have already been reported to Kolkata Police. The complaint is attached. Meanwhile, a person from Guwahati has told me that his religious feelings have been hurt by your meme and he is filing a complaint. I hope Assam Police will take cognizance and ask for remand,” tweeted the senior BJP leader.
