New Delhi, Dec 28: In a shocking development, actor Siddharth has called CRPF "jobless people" for allegedly harassing his aged parents at Madurai airport. He complained that the authorities repeatedly spoke in Hindi and refused to converse in English despite being requested to do so.
Actor Siddharth, who is no stranger to controversy, took to social media to hit out at the CRPF personnel posted at the Madurai airport. He said they humiliated his parents and 'harassed' him. He blamed them for 'showing off their power'. Siddharth highlighted that the CRPF men refused to speak in English even though they were requested to do so.
In a Instagram story, Siddharth, said, "Harassed for 20 mins @ Madurai airport by CRPF. They made my senior parents remove coins from their bags! And repeatedly talked to us in Hindi after being told to speak in English. Rude AF. When we protested, they said in India this is how it is. Jobless people showing off power." He accidentally tagged CRPF instead of CISF (Central Industrial Security Force) in the post.
Siddharth was part of a controversy in January when he was booked by the cybercrime wing of Hyderabad Police over his tweet against ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal. A case was registered under IPC Section 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of women) and under relevant sections of the Information Technology Act, a senior police. He later issued a public apology, calling his comment a "rude joke" and admitted that he could not "justify my tone and words."
Siddharth had replied to Saina Nehwal's tweet on PM Narendra Modi's security breach in Punjab but his tweet drew much flak for being ‘sexist’. The National Commission for Women (NCW) even asked Twitter India to "immediately" block the actor's account.
