Shri Vinod Balnaik, a Judicial Magistrate in a Karnataka Court has ordered the local Police to register an FIR against actress Kangana Ranaut for her tweet on the farmers’ protest.
An Advocate Mr Ramesh Naik found the tweet derogatory and filed a complaint.

He further argues that people who are posting such comments or are promoting it should be prosecuted underSections 44,108,153,153A and 504
The complainant, Mr Naik, urged the court to register FIR against Miss Ranaut and take cognizance of the offence.
