Mumbai, January 19: Actor-MP Govinda on Friday had a case filed against him for slapping a visitor on the sets of a film.

Santosh Rai filed the non-cognisable complaint under section 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) of the IPC at the Goregaon police station against the Congress MP, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone XI) Makrand Ranade.

The first-time MP was caught on tape slapping Rai, while he was visiting the set where the actor was shooting for his film Money Hai to Honey Hai.

Govinda had accused Rai of misbehaving with artistes including women. He said Rai was even kicking the legs of the chair on which the actor was sitting.

The Bollywood actor, known for his comic roles, remained unrepentant on Friday also saying he wouldn't hesitate to slap the individual again if he appeared before him.

"There is no question of apologising to him," Govinda told reporters outside the Filmistan studios.

He claimed that Rai's decision to lodge a complaint was politically motivated.

In 2004, Govinda made his electoral debut and beat four-time BJP MP and former Union minister Ram Naik but has since kept a low political profile, and has been finding time to revive his Bollywood career.

The MP has been under fire for not visiting his Lok Sabha constituency for a long time.

Criminal roars by Vilas on 19 Jan 2008

Sure, why would not he dare to slap? He very well knows the Speaker of Lokasabha never will dare to take action against him for ubecoming of an MP. Nor would Govt will initaite criminal acction since he belongs to ruling party. He should be immedaitly arrested for threatening and proclaiming to take law in his hand. I guess laws dont apply to Indian politicains and celibrities. Otherwise why would Sanjay Datt will get so much importance even when he has been convicted of serious criminal charges and Salman Khan even after involved in car accident in which few people were killed be moving around like a STAR? Govinda is no different than Sanjay Datt or Salman Khan. All TV channles and News papers love these criminals..hmm
