In a post on X hours after the release of the much-awaited book, Kangana described Gandhi as a "mysterious foreigner."
Actor-turned-politician and BJP’s Lok Sabha MP from Mandi, Kangana Ranaut, has been booked by the Himachal Pradesh police over insinuating comments about Congress leader Sonia Gandhi following the release of the latter’s memoir Belonging: A Journey of Love.
The case was registered at the Boileauganj police station on Friday based on the complaint of Atul Sharma, a resident of the Kasumpti area in Shimla.
Sharma, in his complaint submitted to Director General of Police (DGP) Ashok Tewari on November 10, alleged that the BJP MP’s social media posts contained “highly inflammatory insinuations” regarding the tragic deaths of Indira Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi.
The complaint stated that Ranaut’s posts contained a calculated narrative that crossed the line from political dissent into dangerous territory capable of inciting public hostility and disturbing public tranquillity.
The FIR has invoked sections 353 (statements causing public mischief), 356 (offence of defamation) and 196 (promoting enmity between different groups) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, and relevant sections of the Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000.

In a post on X hours after the release of the much-awaited book, Kangana described Gandhi as a “mysterious foreigner.”
“… everyone seems to be wrapped around little finger of a mysterious foreign national who bumped into older son Rajeev Gandhi in a cafe abroad and ever since became inseparable; younger son Sanjay was being formally trained by Mrs Gandhi, but he dies mysteriously, and his vulnerable young widow, Maneka, was thrown out of his house for random reasons and shortly after that the mother-in-law and husband were also killed one after the other,” she wrote.
“Leaving mysterious foreigner Sonia Gandhi as the head of government, wow!! How convenient!!” she added.
Even in the end of the clip every one leaves but Maneka stays looking at Mrs Gandhi like a wounded little child seeking some comfort may be a little smile or a gaze in her direction, she stays hoping for one sign but nothing comes only coldness and slowly she disappears like she is there but doesn’t exist. Heartbreaking!
On the other hand every one seems to be wrapped around little finger of a mysterious foreign national who bumped in to older son Rajeev Gandhi in a cafe abroad and ever since became inseparable, younger son Sanjay was being formally trained by Mrs Gandhi but he dies mysteriously and his vulnerable young window Maneka was thrown out of his house for random reasons and shortly after that the mother in law and husband were also killed one after the other.

She repeated the accusations in a story posted on Instagram. In it, she claimed she had done a “lot of research” on the Gandhi family for her directorial Emergency, in which she played Indira Gandhi.
“I must confess that one mysterious foreign national entered the Gandhi family, and Indira Gandhi was killed, Sanjay Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi all potential heirs to the throne were killed,” she alleged.
She went on to allege that Sonia Gandhi was “chosen as the heir out of sympathy” and that people “did not realise there were so many coincidences.”
She also accused Sonia Gandhi of “propagating foreign agendas and shedding crocodile tears for terrorists.”
Despite the case, the BJP MP continued to post accusations against Sonia Gandhi on Saturday. She also shared a news report regarding the FIR filed against her.
In an Instagram story on Saturday, Ranaut attempted to link Sonia Gandhi to the death of astronomer Vikram Sarabhai.
Sharing a post on Sonia Gandhi and Sarabhai, Ranaut wrote on her Instagram story, “You are married into a new country, new background and culture but immediately visit satellite centre and then after 2 years Vikram Sarabhai on a work visit mysteriously dies in his sleep at the age of 22.”
Kangana Ranaut is again shaming Sonia Gandhi in her latest story, and why is Congress not taking any action against her? She needs to face some consequences for all the filth she keeps spewing from her gutter mouth. https://t.co/F3dvIAi8kQ
