After cricketer Yuvraj Siingh it was actress Yuvika Chaudhary who was arrested on Monday by Hansi Police for alleged casteist comments in connection with a five-month-old case.
According to several media reports, just like the cricketer, she was later released on bail.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court had earlier this month dismissed Yuvika’s plea to stay a case filed against her for allegedly using a casteist slur in her blog to define her ‘messy look’.
A case was filed against her by the complainant Rajat Kalsan in the police station town of Hansi, Haryana under the Scheduled Castes and Tribes Atrocities Act. Kalsan alleged in his complaint that the actor made some derogatory and objectionable remarks about the Scheduled Caste community in the video.
Her video, after it went viral on social media, sparked an uproar last week. Chaudhary later took to Twitter to issue an apology and said that she did not know the meaning of the said word.
“Hi guys I didn’t know the meaning of that word that I used in my last vlog. I didn’t mean to hurt anyone and I can never do that to hurt someone. I apologise to each n everyone I hope you understand love you all,” she had tweeted.
