Chetan
Kumar,
who
was
recently
arrested
for
his
tweet
against
a
High
Court
Judge
hearing
the
Hijab
case,
could
soon
be
deported
to
the
United
States.
It
must
be
noted
that
the
actor
had
stoked
controversy
last
year
in
June
as
well
when
he
had
made
some
controversial
remarks
against
Brahmanism.
He
had
challenged
the
Brahminical
idea
that
certain
people
are
superior
whilst
stating
that
everyone
is
equal.
Now,
according
to
a
TNIE
report,
a
few
documents
from
August
2021
indicate
that
the
police
have
prepared
a
deportation
file
on
actor
Chetan.
The
communication
was
sent
from
the
Basavangudi
Police
Station
to
the
Chief
Secretary
through
the
office
of
the
DGP.
The
aforementioned
letter
has
been
signed
by
ADGP
Prathap
Reddy
as
well.
For
the
uninitiated,
Chetan
is
an
American
citizenship
holder
and
his
case
is
pending
before
the
Home
secretary
for
making
controversial
remarks.
Meanwhile,
when
contacted
about
the
issue
late
Monday
night,
ADGP
Prathap
Reddy
told
The
New
Indian
Express,
“Unless
I
check
the
correspondence
in
detail,
I
will
not
be
able
to
respond.”
