Another case has been registered against Bollywood actors Salman Khan and Shilpa Shetty at Nagori Gate police station in Jodhpur, Rajasthan for making derogatory remarks against a community.
On a TV show, Salman had allegedly used the word ‘bhangi’ during the promotion of his film 'Tiger Zinda Hai' while referring to his dancing skills, and Shilpa had reportedly used the word to describe how she looks at home.
The case has been registered in the sections of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Prevention of Atrocities Act, 2015.
According to sources, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Nishant Bhardwaj will look into this case.
A Delhi Court in February sought a reply from the National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) on the application filed against Salman and Shilpa for allegedly using casteist slur against the scheduled caste.
The court has also asked the commission to file reports on the FIR registered against the actors in Mumbai and Rajasthan Police Station in the matter.
In January, an application was filed against both the actors in Mumbai's Bhoiwada court for allegedly using casteist slur during an interview to a TV show.
Earlier in December 2017, the NCSC had sought a reply from the Information and Broadcasting Ministry and the police commissioners of Delhi and Mumbai over the complaints filed against the actors.
The commission issued the notice after an ex-chairman of the Delhi Commission for Safai Karamcharis, Harnam Singh filed a complaint in this regard.
Singh, in his complaint, said that the actors used the word 'bhangi' during TV shows "which clearly insults the entire Valmiki community of the world."
