Following the comments against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a case has been registered against actor Prakash Raj in a Lucknow Court.

It may be recalled that at an event in Bengaluru on October 1, the actor had compared Modi to an actor and said that the silence of Prime Minister over the murder of journalist Gauri Lankesh is excruciating.

Prakash Raj pointed at a crowd who are celebrating the death of Gauri Lankesh and noted that some of them are followed by the Prime Minister himself on social media.

The hearing of the case is scheduled on October7.
