Marathi actress Ketaki Chitale, arrested for allegedly sharing a derogatory post on Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) supremo Sharad Pawar, has been remanded to police custody till May 18. The actress was produced in court on Sunday.
Chitale, 29, was arrested on Saturday over a post she allegedly shared on her Facebook page. The post shared by Chitale, was written in verse, purportedly by someone else. It contained objectionable phrases like “hell is waiting” and “you hate Brahmins”, in an alleged reference to Pawar.
The NCP has been demanding strict action against the actress. On Sunday, angry NCP supporters resorted to sloganeering outside the court and even threw eggs at her as she was being taken out of the hospital.
