Jaipur: A Chief Judicial Magistrate court in Jaipur has directed the police to register a case against Rajasthan BJP chief whip Rajendra Rathore, the hotel owner and manager for violating the copyright act by screening the pirated version of 'Raajneeti' for MLAs locked up to prevent cross-voting. A criminal complaint had been filed in the matter.
Many BJP MLAs led by party general secretary and former chief minister Vasundhara Raje watched the movie on Tuesday evening at the hotel on a pirated CD.
Moving the complaint at the Chief Judicial Magistrate in Jaipur, petitioner Yogendra Singh said no one staying at the hotel or its owners took permission and license from the collector to screen the movie.
'Raajneeti' director Prakash Jha said he was very angry over the incident and threatened legal action in the case.
"I am very angry. It is shameful. How can lawmakers 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.
The film, which was released on June 4, stars Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Naseeruddin Shah, Ajay Devgn, Arjun Rampal and Manoj Bajpai.
