“My client has joined the investigation as per the guidelines given by the High Court and she is on interim bail now (in a case of alleged offensive remarks against Scheduled Castes on a social media platform),” ANI quoted Ashok Bishnoi, lawyer of actress Yuvika Chaudhary.
Earlier this year, Yuvika Chaudhary had shot a video with her husband, Prince Narula, where he was seen getting ready. To describe how bad she looked, Yuvika had used a casteist slur.
