The actress had tweeted on September 21 from her Twitter handle @KanganaTeam: “People who spread misinformation and rumours about CAA that caused riots are the same people who are now spreading misinformation about Farmers bill and causing terror in the nation, they are terrorists.
You very well know what I said but simply like to spread misinformation.” Naik said this tweet had hurt him and prompted him to file a case against Ranaut.
