The National Commission for Women has asked Twitter to block the account of actor Siddharth for his alleged "lewd and inappropriate" tweet against badminton player Saina Nehwal and also wrote to the Maharashtra police seeking registration of an FIR against him.

A tweet by Siddharth commenting on Nehwal`s remark over the alleged lapse in the security of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his Punjab visit had netizens fuming. The NCW claimed that the comment was misogynist, outrages the modesty of a woman and amounts to disrespect and insults the dignity of women.
