The incident comes just a day after another arrest in Uttar Pradesh over alleged objectionable social media content. In Shamli district, a 30-year-old man identified as Khalid, a resident of Ambeta village, was detained for allegedly posting derogatory content against UP Chief Minister Adityanath using a fake Instagram account in the name of Kairana MP Iqra Choudhary.
Kairana SHO Samaypal Attri said the case was registered under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) following a complaint from the MP. During the investigation, police traced the account to Khalid and recovered a mobile phone reportedly used to post the content.
