Kangana Ranaut has told the Supreme Court that she doesn’t wish to go to Mumbai as Shiv Sena will eliminate her because of her outspokenness, citing a threat to her life and property from the Maharashtra government. The actress has moved a transfer petition in the top court to shift the criminal cases and trials against her and her sister Rangoli to a Shimla court.
The transfer case was filed in the top court on February 24 and is yet to be listed. The two sisters have been named in separate FIRs for promoting enmity and insulting religious beliefs, registered last year at Amboli and Bandra police stations. Another case against the duo is pending on the same charges before the 66th Metropolitan Magistrate court at Andheri. In addition, Ranaut has asked for the transfer of a defamation trial pending against her in an Andheri court filed by poet and lyricist Javed Akhtar.

Currently, Ranaut has been granted the Y-plus category of CRPF security by the Home Ministry. Therefore, it becomes quite evident that the Petitioner faces a serious threat to life and property and if the trial of the cases is not transferred out of Mumbai, the Petitioner's life will be at risk, said Ranaut's petition.
Another case against the duo is of sedition filed by casting director Munawar Ali Sayyed, alleging that Ranaut and her sister Rangoli Chandel tried to create a communal divide through their social media.
