What was the controversy?

Panoli, a student at Symbiosis International University, Pune, has over 90,000 followers on Instagram and a significant presence on X. The controversy erupted after a video she posted on 14 May, in which she criticised the silence of the Khans and other Bollywood actors regarding Operation Sindoor. Her video drew accusations of communal incitement. AIMIM national spokesperson Waris Pathan flagged the video to the Union Home Minister, accusing Panoli of insulting the Prophet of Islam and seeking her arrest.

Despite deleting the post and issuing a public apology on 15 May, saying she "never intentionally wanted to hurt anybody" and would be "cautious" in future, a complaint had already been registered at Garden Reach police station in Kolkata. According to Kolkata Police, Panoli was evading notice, and a court-issued arrest warrant was executed after she was found absent during multiple attempts to serve summons.
