Objectionable post case: Marathi actress Ketaki Chitale gets bail

Ketaki Chitale, a Marathi actress, who was arrested for her disparaging post on Facebook against NCP chief Sharad Pawar has been granted bail by the Thane Court on Wednesday.

Chitale (29) was arrested on May 14 and booked under various Indian Penal Code sections for defamation and promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion and race.

The film and TV actor was arrested by the Thane police last month over the post she allegedly shared on her Facebook page, which was in verse form and purportedly written by someone else.


It contained phrases like "hell is waiting" and "you hate Brahmins", allegedly referring to Pawar, whose party shares power in Maharashtra with the Shiv Sena and Congress.
