According to reports, an FIR has been registered in Uttar Pradesh's Hazratganj against filmmaker and Farah Khan's husband Shirish Kunder for his recent tweet against UP Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath.
Shirish had criticised the decision to appoint Adityanath as the new CM of UP via a tweet which he later deleted. The tweet reportedly said:
Going by the logic of making a goon as CM so that he behaves, Dawood can be CBI director, and Mallya - RBI GovernorShirish Kunder (Twitter)
He is also alleged to have tweeted, "Hoping a goon will stop rioting once he's allowed to rule is like expecting a rapist to stop raping once he's allowed to rape."
Shirish is known to express his candid, cheeky and often witty anti-right wing opinions on Twitter.
The filmmaker and his wife Farah Khan were unavailable for a reaction to this recent development.
