Earlier on May 4, Twitter permanently blocked the official account of Kangana Ranaut after her tweets had allegedly violated the rules and guidelines of the micro-blogging platform.

Reacting to the legal action against her, Kangana has accused Bengal Chief Minister of 'killing her voice' and said that she can not be scared by the cases and FIRs.
