Ram Gopal Varma files a police complaint against BJP Yuva Morcha

Bollywood filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has filed a police complaint against the BJP Yuva Morcha for threatening him.

Ram Gopal Varma’s recent stand on Maria Susairaj who has been freed in the Neeraj Grover murder case has come under fire from many quarters. Some filmmakers have said that Ram Gopal Varma’s bid to cash in on the murder case by making a whole movie (Not A Love Story) on it and even releasing the first look of the film on the day the verdict came out has been insensitive.

But the most serious threat, as per Ramu’s claim, came from the BJP Yuva Morcha which sent a warning letter to his office. The letter allegedly warned Varma to not sign Susairaj for his film. Varma had recently announced his plan to sign Susairaj for a film.

“Just lodged a complaint with the versova police against the BJP yuva morchas threat to me on the maria susairaj issue... Other organizations warnings I got to hear from the media but the BJP sent a signed warning letter directly to my office,” Ramu wrote on his Twitter page after lodging the complaint.

The filmmaker also tweeted in support of Maria Susairaj. He said that someone who has been set free by the law has every right to start her life afresh.

“If sm1 hs bn convicted nd the person servd a gvn sentence she has a right to start her life afresh nd thts a part of civilized society... Maria is nt my sister or my girl friend nd I don't evn knw her ..so its nt about supporting her but its about standing fr my beliefs... Evn aftr court gve its judgement if even the least informed ppl are raising so much noise doesn't it come under contempt of court... Public opinion is fine but isn't there a difference btwn opinion nd an informed opinion? nd who can be more informed than the judge?” Ramu wrote.
