The social networking and microblogging site, Twitter has permanently suspended the account of Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut. They have suspended her account for the repeated violations of the platforms’ rules by the actress specifically of its “Hateful Conduct and Abusive Behaviour policy”.

The 34-year-old actor’s Twitter handle @KanganaTeam now displays the message: account suspended.

After the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress’ win over the BJP in West Bengal’s assembly elections yesterday, there were reports on incidents of post-poll violence. Following this, Ranaut had posted several inflammatory messages and tweets.

The actress had called for the president’s rule in the state and blamed Mamata Banerjee for the violence in the state.

As per the statement of a Twitter spokesperson, the social networking platform had been very clear to take strong enforcement action on any online activity that has the potential to lead to offline harm.

According to Twitter’s Abusive Behaviour policy, “one may not engage in the targeted harassment of someone, or incite other people to do so or attempt to harass, intimidate, or silence someone else’s voice”.

When an account is suspended permanently, the account holder is notified about the rules they have violated, the social media platform said citing the policy.
