Bollywood actress Payal Rohatgi is known to speak her mind. She often raised her voice against several political issues.
Now, the actress alleged that Mumbai Police had blocked her on Twitter, prompting Maharashtra Chief Minister’s wife, whom she had tagged, to request the cops to look into the issue.
In her tweet, the actress shared a screenshot of Mumbai Police’s Twitter that read, “@MumbaiPolice blocked you.”
The actress was furious and wrote a long caption slamming their official page. Her Tweet read, “Why has @MumbaiPolice blocked me? Are U BFF with drug accused jailed minority tag actor As a #Hindu I am scared to live in Hindustan if Police has such baised behaviour. Now I understand why my family tells me 2 stop talking 4 Hindus @Sangram_Sanjeet @PMOIndia @HMOIndia”

She also said that she had mailed the Home Minister Amit Shah: “I have emailed @AmitShah Sir. My safety is in my hands I guess as I am being treated very badly even though I have done nothing to deserve this kind of treatment by the government institutions #PayalRohatgi”
I have emailed @fadnavis_amruta ma’am & @Dev_Fadnavis 🙏 @MumbaiPolice regarding your biased attitude towards me. #PayalRohatgi pic.twitter.com/krniLoNmzd
