Around 14 police complaints have been filed against actress Swara Bhasker, who has been accused of describing the Hindu religion as a terrorist organisation and promoting enmity between several groups on religious grounds.
With the hashtag #ArrestSwaraBhasker, netizens, social activists and advocates have taken to Twitter demanding the arrest of the Bollywood actress-turned-activist Swara Bhasker for comparing Taliban terror with 'Hindutva terror' on social media.
On 17 August, Swara took to social media and remarked:
Her tweet has sparked a social media uproar, as netizens are calling her anti-nationalist and Hinduphobic and accusing her of hurting the sentiments of Hindu people.
Social activist Barkha Trehan filed a police complaint against Bhasker on 18 August, saying Swara is "carrying a criminal mindset, malafide intention towards Hindus and has tried to create ill-will and rift about Hindus in the minds of people from other religion by portraying Hindu religion as a terrorist religion without any truth attached to it".
Advocate Ashutosh Dubey at the Bombay High Court took to social media and revealed that he has filed a complaint against Swara with Mumbai Police and the Cyber Palghar Police demanding an investigation and appropriate action against her.
Several other netizens flood social media slamming the actress for defaming Hindu religion, making false allegations, spreading hatred and hurting ideological sentiments.
