Viral Winky girl and Malayalam actress Priya Prakash Varrier on Monday approached the Supreme Court. Reportedly, the internet sensation girl has moved the apex court against FIR lodged for allegedly hurting religious sentiments by film song.
According to reports, Priya Prakash Varrier has filed a plea in Supreme Court over the case registered against her film Oru Adaar Love .
Earlier in the day, Hyderabad police had sent a notice to the director of the upcoming Malayalam film “Oru Adaar Love”. The police officials sought his reply in a case lodged against him for ‘hurting religious sentiments’. Some local persons had lodged a complaint that lyrics of the song `Manikya Malaraya Poovi’ in the Omar Lulu-directed film hurt the sentiments of Muslims.
Police registered a case against Omar Lulu on February 14 under section 295A of the IPC (hurting religious sentiments). Two days ago, a notice was issued to Omar Lulu under section 160 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, seeking his reply within 15 days, a police officer said. Under the section, a police officer can call a person for questioning with regard to a case under investigation.
A clip from the song, featuring Priya Prakash Varrier, has gone viral on social media. Police had earlier said they would also consult Muslim clerics for the purpose of probe. Prior to this, on February 15, city-based Islamic seminary Jamia Nizamia had issued a ‘fatwa’, demanding that government remove the song, following a complaint alleging that it hurt Muslim sentiments.
