Actress Kangana Ranaut received category Y-plus security from the Home Office ahead of her visit to Mumbai on September 9, authorities said. The central coverage of the Y-plus category involves the deployment of about 10 commandos armed with the protégé, PTI reported.
The move came amid a growing war of words between the actor and Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut after his comment Thursday: “Mumbai feels like Pakistani-occupied Kashmir.” He had also said that he feared the Mumbai police more than what he has termed the “movie mafia”.
Raut responded on Thursday to Sena spokesperson Saamna, asking Kangana not to return to Mumbai for criticizing the Mumbai police. “This issue concerns the pride of Maharashtra and there will be no compromise on this front. Ranaut needs to apologize for his PoK comments or he will face the music of our women’s wing, ”he had said in his editorial.
Refusing to back down, Kangana had said that he would return to Mumbai on 9 September and said that Raut “is not Maharashtra.” “Your people are threatening me, I will still go to Mumbai on September 9,” she said in a video message. “Mr. Sanjay Raut, you called me ‘haramkhor ladki’. You know how many girls are raped every day in the country, how many of them are tortured and killed, sometimes by their own husbands. And do you know who is responsible for all this? It is this mentality that you displayed without shame in front of the entire country. The daughters of this country will never forgive you, ”Ranaut added. He is currently at his family’s home in Manali. On Sunday, the actor’s father had also written to the Himachal Pradesh government, requesting security for her.
“Kangana Ranaut’s father has given in writing requesting police protection. I also spoke with her sister yesterday. The Director General of Police received instructions in this regard and security will be provided here. We are discussing what can be done to provide security for her outside of the been when he goes to Mumbai on September 9, “said Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur.
