Facebook User Booked Over Edited Image of UP Minister
Police in Uttar Pradesh have booked a Facebook user named Kaleem.
He is accused of sharing an edited picture of minister Om Prakash Rajbhar.
The picture placed the minister’s face on a frog’s body.
It also included a laughing emoji.
A local leader from Rajbhar’s political party complained to the police.
The case was filed late Wednesday.
Police said sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita were used.
Being booked means a case has been registered, not that the person has been found guilty.
