Another complaint, filed by advocate Nitin Mane at Vikhroli police station, also accused Ranaut of insulting Maharahstra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.
This comes as Ranaut has been engaged in a bitter war of words with Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut after her remarks that she feels unsafe in Mumbai after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput and has no trust in the Mumbai Police.
The Ministry of Home Affairs had earlier approved Y-plus security to the ‘Queen’ actress after she received threats for comparing Mumbai with Pakistan occupied Kashmir.
The BMC had on Wednesday carried out demolition of alleged illegal alterication at Ranaut’s office. The demolition was later stayed by the Bombay High Court.
Ranaut had, on September 9, hit out at Uddhav Thackeray and film director Karan Johar in a video message on Twitter. Later, she had tweeted that she will “expose” both Thackeray and “Karana Johar Gang.”
