An SC bench on Friday stayed criminal proceedings against Munmun Dutta for allegedly using a casteist slur
Earlier, the actor had triggered an outrage with an YouTube video, leading to lodging of FIRs under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act
A video of Munmun Dutta using a particular word against the community had gone viral on social media recently.
After a fortnight an FIR has been lodged in Mumbai against television star Munmun Dutta.
The riled members of the community even burned an effigy of the actor in Moradabad, expressing their anger on her.
Khan had used the word during the promotion of his film 'Tiger Zinda Hai'.
The Valmiki community had even lodged a complaint with the police seeking action against the Bollywood superstar.
The use of the term ‘bhangi’ in an inappropriate way has apparently irked the Valmiki community.
Rakhi had submitted an "unconditional apology" to the Valmiki community for her remarks made on a TV show last year.
Rakhi has now decided to come in front of the media and answer all the questions.
During the conversation, she even seeked apology, if at all her words have hurt the sentiment of the Valmiki Community, "Through ANI, I want to apologise to all the Valmiki community brothers and sisters, if I have hurt their sentiment. But this wasn`t my intention."
The court issued the arrest warrant after Sawant failed to appear before it on March 9 in a case filed against her for making deragatory remarks against sage Valmiki, the author of the Ramayana which chronicles the life and times of Hindu god Lord Rama.
The report also stated that the protestors halted Shatabdi Express at the Jalandhar City railway station.
