Model-actress Payal Rohatgi was detained by the Bundi police in Rajasthan on December 15 for her alleged comments on former Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.

While speaking to news agency ANI, SP Mamta Gupta said that a case has been registered against Payal. "Payal Rohatgi has been detained. Case registered," Mamta Gupta was quoted as saying by ANI.

In October 2019, a case was registered against Payal in Rajasthan for a Facebook video in which she made objectionable comments against Motilal Nehru's family and also "defamed" Jawaharlal Nehru's wife.

Charmesh Sharma, Youth Congress leader, had filed the complaint as the case was registered under sections 66 and 67 of the IT Act, news agency IANS reported in October.

The video in question was posted on Facebook on September 21. The complainant alleged that the content of the clip can hamper India's relations with other nations.
