Jaipur court orders FIR against BJP leader for 'Rajneeti' screening

A Jaipur court has ordered that an FIR be lodged against Rajasthan BJP chief whip Rajendra Singh Rathore for the screening of a pirated print of the Bollywood film 'Rajneeti' for bored party MLAs locked up at a luxury resort to prevent them from cross voting in the Rajya Sabha elections.

The court has ordered an FIR against the hotel owner too. A court complaint was made on Wednesday and 'Raajneeti' director Prakash Jha is livid.

Jha said he was very angry over the incident. "I am very angry. It is shameful. How can lawmakers can break the law like that? They should be the ones to put a stop to such illegal things and create examples but they are blatantly breaking the law," he said.

"My lawyers are looking into it. We are looking into all aspects like who saw it and where it was screened. We will take appropriate legal action," he said on Wednesday.

The 79 BJP MLAs, led by party general secretary and former chief minister Vasundhara Raje, took time out to watch the film on Tuesday. The film, a political drama, stars a slew of big Bollywood actors. (Read: Rajneeti Review)
