Anurag Kashyap Fails to Appear in 'Anti-Brahmin' Remarks Case Filed by Bajrang Dal, VHP Lawyer; Surat Court Issues Warrant
The court cited his repeated absence after summonses in a case over alleged remarks against the Brahmin community.
- On Monday, November 2, the Surat Court issued a bailable warrant against 54-year-old filmmaker Anurag Kashyap after he failed to appear for a scheduled hearing regarding alleged offensive remarks against the Brahmin community.
- The case stems from remarks dated April 16, 2025, where Kashyap posted an "objectionable message on social media that cast a slur upon the entire Brahmin community," prompting the court to register charges under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections 192 and 352.
- Petitioner Kamlesh Raval argued that Kashyap's posts, including one asking "What have you achieved by being a Brahmin?", sought to defame the community. Kashyap repeatedly failed to answer multiple court summonses, including a public newspaper notice.
- Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Chauhan ordered the warrant after Kashyap remained absent, requiring him to furnish bail to secure release. The court scheduled the next hearing for December 24, 2026.
- Despite Kashyap's April 2025 Instagram statement where he wrote, "I sincerely apologize to this community to whom I did not want to say this, but wrote it in anger while responding to someone," the legal proceedings initiated by Raval continue forward.
