Hyderabad Police File Case Against Meta Over Modi Posts
Hyderabad Police have started a legal case against the head of Meta India because some Facebook videos showed the Prime Minister in a bad way.
The police say this is a repeat problem after Facebook once blocked a post about the Prime Minister.
A BJP spokesperson wants the police to punish people who made these videos.
A man named T Saikiran Goud complained that he saw 20 bad videos and asked the police to investigate.
The case will be looked at under Indian computer and criminal laws.
Hyderabad Police registered a case against Meta India head over Facebook posts depicting PM Modi in an abusive manner.
The case follows tensions after Facebook briefly restricted a Modi post and the IT ministry summoned Meta executives.
Telangana BJP spokesperson N V Subhash demanded legal action against creators of morphed, abusive content targeting Modi.
Complaint filed by T Saikiran Goud listed 20 URLs of derogatory posts and requested investigation and evidence preservation.
The case is under Sections 66(C), 67 of the IT Act and Sections 353(2), 336(4) of the Indian Penal Code.
