Siddharth vs Saina Nehwal: Chennai Police summon actor over his controversial tweet

The ‘Rang De Basanti’ actor Siddharth was summoned by the Chennai Police over his controversial tweet against badminton star Saina Nehwal. The Chennai Police Commissioner Shankar Jiwal said, ‘We’ve actually received 2 complaints; another one is on defamation in a legal frame, not a criminal case. We only need his statement’, he further added. Siddharth was badly criticised by netizens over his tweet on Saina Nehwal. Saina had tweeted on PM Modi alleged “security breach” in Punjab on January 5. Her tweet read, “No nation can claim itself to be safe if the security of its own PM gets compromised. I condemn, in the strongest words possible, the cowardly attack on PM Modi by anarchists. #BharatStandsWithModi #PMModi’. Retweeting this, actor wrote, “Subtle cock champion of the world… Thank God we have protectors of India. Shame on you #Rihanna."
