Police Complaint Against Paresh Rawal For ‘Anti-Bengali’ Quip

| Updated: December 3, 2022 12:36

The Communist Party of India-Marxist has filed a police complaint against Bollywood actor Paresh Rawal, alleging that the veteran actor made the remark to provoke riots and destroy the harmony between the Bengali community and other communities.

The police registered the case against the actor based on a complaint filed by CPI-M leader Md Salim.

Salim, in his complaint to Taratola Police Station, said he came across a video on various social media platforms featuring the actor giving a speech, which could promote feelings of hatred against Bengalis.

The CPI-M leader said that people from Bengal residing in other parts of the country could get affected as a result of Rawal’s comments.

Salim said, “Such speech on public domain has been made to provoke riots and destroy harmony between Bengali community and other communities across the country, and cause public mischief”.

The “Hera Pheri” actor recently came under fire for a statement he made during an election rally in Gujarat. During his speech addressing the crowd, he said “Gas cylinders are expensive, but their price will come down. People will get employment too. But what will happen if Rohingya migrants and Bangladeshis start living around you, like in Delhi? What will you do with gas cylinders? Cook fish for the Bengalis?”.

The comments did not go down well with many. The actor was accused of hurting the sentiments of Bengali people with his words.

Amidst the backlash, the actor took to Twitter to clarify and apologize.

In response to a user asking him to “clarify”, the actor wrote, “
