A new controversy has erupted involving Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut. Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut reportedly has asked her "to refrain from travelling back to Mumbai".
This reaction from Raut came after Kangana made a statement saying that she feared the city police force more than the 'movie mafia', a report in the New Indian Express said.
When @CPMumbaiPolice is openly intimidating me like this, encouraging bullying and crime against me, will I be safe in Mumbai ? Who is responsible for my safety? @PMOIndia

Raut has reportedly "slammed her" for her statements. He took to the well-known Shiv Sena’s mouthpiece 'Saamana'. He has been quoted writing.
"We kindly request her not to come in Mumbai. This is nothing but insult to Mumbai police. The Home Ministry should take action over it (sic).”
The actor has been taking on Mumbai Police in her posts on Twitter.
You are a big sham in the name of police force, donât you forget not just me all the people tagged got notifications of @CPMumbaiPolice liking the derogatory tweet, trying to prove victim a criminal seems your old dhandha, donât you dare to lie @MumbaiPolice, donât you dare .. https://t.co/6v5bwEE7An
