Surat trial court issues warrant against Bollywood director Anurag Kashyap in controversial tweet case against Brahmin community

A Surat court has issued a stern warrant against Bollywood film director Anurag Kashyap for making derogatory remarks against the Brahmin community on social media. He did not appear before the court despite being summoned by the court earlier and served through a public notice in the newspaper as per the rules. The hon'ble trial court has passed this stern order for continuous disregard of legal process and court order, which has now added to the woes of the filmmaker in a big way. Absent from the hearing despite the summons in the newspaper According to the details of the case, last year, Anurag Kashyap had made an objectionable statement against the society on his social media account, for which he did not even apologize publicly. Therefore, a formal complaint was filed against him in the Surat court. The court registered a case and issued summons, but he did not appear in the Mumbai newspaper on September 5. 'Warrant issued for contempt of court': Advocate Kamlesh Rawal Giving details of the entire legal proceedings, the complainant and senior advocate Kamlesh Rawal said, "I have been practicing law in Surat for the last 34 years. The film director Anurag Kashyap had made an indecent remark against the Brahmin community and he did not even apologise. So I filed a complaint in Surat, in which the honorable trial court issued summons. The next hearing is scheduled for December 24." What was the controversial tweet and abuse? According to the details of the case, on March 19, 2025, Anurag Kashyap, who is a big celebrity in the film world, saw a very hateful tweet targeting the Brahmo Samaj and Brahmins on his Twitter account, as soon as people's anger erupted on social media. In response to this tweet, a conscious citizen named Aditya Dutta asked Anurag Kashyap to delete the post immediately and maintain the dignity. However, Kashyap, who was blinded by his celebrity ego, instead of showing humility, vented his anger and responded by publicly abusing him on Twitter, which added fuel to the fire.
