Actor and Bigg Boss contestant Ajaz Khan has been arrested by the Mumbai police for allegedly making communal remarks in a video on his social media page.

In one of his recent Facebook live interactions, Ajaz Khan allegedly made a communal remark. "If an ant dies, a Muslim is responsible, if an elephant dies, a Muslim is responsible. If there is an earthquake in Delhi, a Muslim is responsible, i.e a Muslim is responsible for any incident. But have you ever thought who is responsible for this conspiracy?" he reportedly asked. He allegedly further attacked the BJP government and accused them of defaming Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray and his son Aaditya Thackeray. Ajaz Khan has previously been arrested once for posting a communal TikTok video in June last year. The actor became popular after participating in the 7th season of the TV reality show, Bigg Boss, hosted by Bollywood star Salman Khan.

According to reports, an FIR has been registered against Ajaz Khan under sections 153A, 121, 117, 188, 501, 504, and 505(2) of the Indian Penal Code at the Khar police station.
