FIR filed against Parambrata, Swastika

An FIR has been filed against Bengali actors Parambrata Chattopadhyay and Swastika Mukherjee in Kolkata over social media posts made during the 2021 post-poll period in West Bengal.

The complaint was lodged at Gariahat Police Station by a lawyer, who alleged that comments made by the actors on social media at the time may have affected the already tense political atmosphere following the state assembly election results.

The posts date back to May 2021, when political tensions were reported across several parts of West Bengal.
