Rakhi Sawant Booked in Connection with Man's Death


Rakhi Sawant Booked in Connection with Man's Death

Lucknow, Nov 13 (IANS): Police in Uttar Pradesh's Jhansi district Friday registered a criminal case against Bollywood item girl Rakhi Sawant in connection with the death of a young man who had featured on a reality show hosted by her, an official said.

Lakshman Prasad, 24, a resident of Jhansi's Prem Nagar town, who appeared on reality show "Rakhi Ka Insaaf" was so upset by the reportedly "indecent remarks" made against him by Rakhi Sawant on the show that he stopped eating and died Wednesday, his family has alleged.

"Acting on the complaint made by Lakshman's family, we have booked Rakhi Sawant under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including Section 306 (Abetment to Suicide) and 504 (Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace)," police inspector A.K. Singh told reporters in Jhansi, some 300 km from Lucknow.

"In the complaint, the family has squarely blamed Rakhi Sawant for Lakshman's death. On the directions of senior police officials, an enquiry has been initiated in the case and further action would be taken on the basis of the enquiry," he added.

According to Prasad's mother Savitri Ahirwal, Sawant had termed her son "impotent" while trying to settle the dispute between him and his wife on the reality show.

"My son was so upset with the indecent remarks that he stopped meeting any outsiders or neighbours, who used to laugh at him referring to the remarks by Rakhi Sawant... They (neighbours) had seen the show and how that girl (Sawant) referred to my son as 'namard and napunsak' (impotent)," Ahirwal told reporters Thursday, a day after Prasad died.

"Upset over the remarks, my son went into acute depression and even stopped eating food... He gradually became weak and frail and ultimately died yesterday... No one other than Rakhi Sawant is responsible for the untimely death of my son," she added.

According to the family members, in October Prasad along with his wife Vineeta and her family had appeared on 'Rakhi Ka Insaaf', in which Sawant plays the role of a judge and announces verdicts in cases of domestic violence, marital discord and others.

"Our main objective was to settle the dispute between Lakshman and his wife Vineeta. We would have never opted for the show if we knew that the girl (Sawant) would ill-treat Lakshman in such a manner on national television," said Balbir Ahirwal, Prasad's maternal uncle.

Prasad and Vineeta were married in February 2010. A month after the marriage, they started living separately following discord.

    The ultimate blame lies on Broadcasting Authority of India (formed through Prasar Bharti act) which gave licenses to unlimited number of Television channels in the early 1990's. These channels after having exhausted all conventional methods of entertainment have started cheap methods which unfortunately succeed in fooling the people. Indian audience is innocent and ignorant and has patronised the likes of Ekta kapoor and horde of other third degree producers. As long as Prasar bharti is lax, people like Rakhi sawant and her producers will invent new mehtods of pulling down someone's underwear and revealing to the nation what is in there, just to increase their TRP rating.

    Hello everyboby, all of you misjudge your opinion about Rakhee.
    She is not insane,stupid,vulgar,or disgraceful etc etc. She is just illeterate & born and bought up in a slum. Thats all. She has not learned decency. So, its pointless blaming her, blame the producers & the censorship. Better check with Information & broadcasting ministry.

    First of all, we ourself/our society has to be blamed. If he or she has common sense, then why they brought their case to Raki? Who is she (Raki) to settle this issues? Is she a Court Judge or what?? First of all he or she should have taken this issues to the family head or village head for amicable settlement. If not then they should have approached the court. Raki is totally wrong. When I was watching this programme, I heard she was using these words to the deceased person. At that time, I myself felt very bad that why she is using such a bad words where this programme was watched by millions around the world. This programme must be banned. Who is she to deliver the judgment on what basis????

    Here comes the important of Rama Sene like outfits. This is the ideal venue for them to step in to action. The rich Indian Culture day by day evaporating in the name of reality show by such third rated hostess who themselves have never touched of by the word morality. We , the so called civilized class people in the name of modernism are always here to support such stupid shows and thinks unsupportive attitude will be a symbol of backwardness and will be isolated from the mass. Now a days vulgarity is in it's highest height and enjoyed in mass without any discrimination. Days are not far , when the visual medias will race to telecast live nude shows in each and every channels with out any ban. Those are the days, one has to search the pages of the history to know our rich Indian Culture.

    Yes, this is one of the sensitive issues happening around us. But, who to blame, if we do a simple analysis the root cause is the NDTV telecasting some shows which are not good for the youths. Insane people should not be allowed to anchor a television show and some shows like ‘Rakhi ka swayamvara’ , ‘Rahul ka swayamvara’ and on going ‘Rakhi ka Insaaf’ all should be banned.

    "Raaki ka insaaf" Reality show.its ok for entertainment to the public.Raaki herself involed in so many incidents, what better insaaf she will give to the soceity. One of the show which was telecasted two weeks ago, she was wearing a gown her part breast exposed to the public entertainment.The man whom she was speaking to her, she tells him openly not see her breast.(by pointing out ither math dekna).it is not once more than three or four time.When sits on the dais of the judge she should have decency in her speach.And insulting the man in front of the public.If the show is for the entertainment its welcom dear Raaki, you expose yourself but nation got fed up by seeing such things.While dealing with the case she should be be very careful,when the persons get the hurt sometimes it will hurt the person,and never get recover.My dear dear Raaki instead mending the case do not try bending it or denting.

    It has been a game to Rakhi to play with peoples Emotions. Earlier in Swayamvar she assured that she will marry the winner then left him now she is insulting the other person and he committed suicide result is wife became a widow and the mother lost her son and Rakhi is responsible for all this so she should also be charged of defamation and put behind the bars for 10 years and a sum of Rs 10000/- must be fined against her for the insult and defamation which must be given to the boys family

    Secondly how does she know that Laxman was "Na mardh" ? She has no right to degrade or insult any one. We dont want filmy courts. We have courts of laws to administer justice by the leanrned and qualified judges. Was Rakhi a law graduate or a judge??? She should be sentenced to jail.

    The "talk show" business was
    started in the U.S. about four
    decades back, later on many talk
    shows came to different T.V.
    channels, and some of them were
    nothing but "trash shows" without
    any substance or purpose, also
    some of them were rehearsed.

    Now, in India from south to north,
    many "talk shows" are running.
    The hosts are young people, and
    their questions can be highly
    irritating, irreverent and totally out of context.

    Rakhi Sawant might have caused
    serious emotional break down to
    Lakshman, which might have led him
    to his death. So, she is liable
    for his death by shooting the wrong
    statement at the guest. Words are
    powerful tools to give life and
    hope, but if used in the wrong
    way, it can create death and
    destruction.
