Marathi Actress Ketaki Chitale Detained For Offensive Post On Sharad Pawar

Marathi actress Ketaki Chitale who posted an “offensive” post against Nationalist Congress Party President Sharad Pawar has been detained by Thane police, officials said on Saturday.

The development followed a complaint registered with Kalwa police by NCP leader Swapnil Netke against Chitale who posted a Marathi verse denigrating Pawar and resulting in a political furore.

Ketaki Chitale shared a poem penned by advocate Nitin Bhave on her Facebook wall that kicked off a political row and the actress has been hugely trolled for the foul language used in the verse.
