Bollywood actor Payal Rohatgi was arrested on Friday in Ahmedabad for threatening her society chairman on social media. She was later released on bail.

"The complaint against Payal Rohatgi was lodged by the complainant at very late hour yesterday (Thursday). Today (Friday), the police produced her in the Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) court at around 12:45 p.m., and later she was released on bail out," A.S. Roy, the investigating officer from Satellite police station, told IANS.

According to the complaint, Rohatgi has been threatening to 'break the legs' of anyone who favours children playing in the common plot of the society, besides hurling abuses at those disagreeing with her.

The chairman had also alleged that despite not being a member of the housing society, she had attended its annual general meeting, creating ruckus.

In 2019, Rohatgi was arrested by the Rajasthan police for her alleged comments against Jawaharlal Nehru.
