Actress Payal Rohatgi Detained By Rajasthan Police For Posting Objectionable Video Against Nehru Family

Recently, controversial actress Payal Rohatgi, who is often in news for her bold political opinions, created a lot of stir when she posted a video that was termed objectionable against the Nehru family including Motilal Nehru, his granddaughter Indira Gandhi and her husband Feroze Gandhi. The video has now landed the actress in hot waters as she has been detained by Rajasthan Police due to the same.

Confirming the news, Bundi Superintendent of Police Mamta Gupta said, “She has been detained in Ahmedabad and will be brought to Bundi by Monday morning. The case pertains to objectionable comments by her against Motilal Nehru. A complaint was filed in this regard in Bundi in October.”

The action was taken against her after Rajasthan Youth Congress general secretary and a resident of Bundi Charmesh Sharma submitted a complaint against her in October. Payal has been booked under several sections of the IT Act 2008.

She has also taken to social media to inform people about her detention and has proceeded to call the entire episode a joke. She wrote, “I am arrested by the Rajasthan Police for making a video on Motilal Nehru which I made from taking information from Google. Freedom of Speech is a joke.”
