Denied passport renewal, Kangana Ranaut moves Bombay HC

Actor Kangana Ranaut has moved the Bombay high court seeking directions to the regional passport authority in Mumbai to renew her passport.

In her plea, Ranaut has said the renewal had been denied by the local passport authority on the ground that she had an FIR registered against her by the Bandra police on charges of sedition and for her alleged hateful tweets.

The actor said she needs to travel to Hungary this month for the shooting of her upcoming film 'Dhakkad' and thus, needs her passport renewed.

The Bandra police had registered the FIR against Ranaut and her sister Rangoli Chandel on charges of promoting enmity between communities through their remarks on Twitter in October.Q
