Delhi LG VK Saxena has sought a detailed investigation report from the Delhi Police Commissioner

”Delhi LG VK Saxena has sought a detailed investigation report from the Delhi Police Commissioner into the derogatory post made by Congress Leader Supriya Shrinate against Kangana Ranaut,” the LG Office said, according to news agency ANI.

A controversial comment was posted on social media platforms from Shrinate’s accounts against Ranaut, the Bollywood actor who has been fielded by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as its candidate from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

Following a row, Shrinate removed the controversial remarks from all her social accounts, claiming that those were not posted by her but by someone else who had access to her accounts. BJP leader Bansuri Swaraj had given a complaint to the LG demanding an investigation and the registration of an FIR against Shrinate for “outraging the modesty of a woman”, the LG office said.

Saxena has forwarded the complaint to the police commissioner, directing a “scientific” investigation in the matter and initiation of legal action, if necessary, they added.

Police will also probe who was behind the said social media post and whose mobile phone was used for the purpose, the sources said.
