UP man arrested for making 'objectionable' video on BSP chief Mayawati
Saharanpur (UP) (PTI): A 27-year-old man was arrested here for allegedly creating and sharing on social media an "objectionable" video involving a poster of Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati, police said on Wednesday.
In the video shared on the occasion of Karwa Chauth, the man is seen looking at the former chief minister's poster through a sieve, blowing a kiss and offering it water.
According to Hindu traditions, women fast on Karwa Chauth for their husbands' long lives and break the fast after moonrise. They look at the moon through a sieve and then look at their husbands, who then offer them water.
Additional Superintendent of Police (Rural) Sagar Jain said the video doing the rounds on social media angered BSP supporters, who lodged a complaint at the local police station demanding action against the accused.
Based on the complaint, a case was registered and the accused, Lavesh Saini, a resident of Rampur Kalan, was arrested on Tuesday for creating the "objectionable" video on the occasion of Karwa Chauth with a poster of BSP president Mayawati and sharing it on social media, the officer said.
Further investigation is underway, he said.

Five dead, including infant, due to suspected contaminated water consumption in Vijayanagara
Vijayanagara: Five individuals, including a newborn, have reportedly died after consuming contaminated water in the village of T. Tumbigere in Harapanahalli taluk. Over 50 residents have fallen ill with symptoms of vomiting and diarrhoea.
The deceased have been identified as Suresh (30), Mahantesh (45), Gouramma (60), Hanumantappa (38), and an eight-month-old male infant. There are suspicions that their deaths are linked to the consumption of contaminated water.
Villagers have claimed that contaminated water has been supplied to the village for the past 15 days, leading to many residents being hospitalised. Tragically, the infant and four others have succumbed to their illnesses after consuming the tainted water.
More than 50 residents have been admitted to hospitals with symptoms of vomiting and diarrhoea. A pregnant woman, Nimgamma, has been taken to Davanagere District Hospital with severe symptoms, and it is reported that her unborn child has died due to the condition.
Officials from the Vijayanagara Zilla Panchayat and the Health and Family Welfare Department have rushed to the village to assess the situation.
