A Thane court on Wednesday remanded Marathi actress Ketki Chitale, who was arrested on May 15 for sharing a defamatory poem targeting NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Facebook, to 14 days judicial custody after her police custody ended. Several FIRs have been registered against Chital in multiple police stations in the state for offensive Facebook posts against the NCP chief.
Another FIR has been registered against the Marathi actress for “an abusive Facebook post against Power while abusing the name of Sant Tukaram”. On May 15, police in Thane filed a case against the actress under IPC section 500 (defamation), 501 (printing or engraving defamatory content) and 153A (promoting animosity between different groups).

Last week, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) activists slapped Maharashtra state BJP spokesperson Binayak Ambekar in his office for posting “insulting” social media comments targeting Power.
As the video of the attack went viral, Ambekar claimed that Pune police had not yet been able to arrest the NCP men behind the attack. Ambeker further claimed that NCP workers came to his office to capture the physical assault on camera. Posting a video of the attack on Twitter, state BJP chief Chandrakant Patil wrote, “Maharashtra Pradesh Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Pvt. Binayak Ambekar was attacked by NCP goons. On behalf of the BJP, I strongly condemn this attack. These NCP thugs must be dealt with immediately!
