Stickers Targeting PM Modi Pasted on Ahmedabad Hoarding; FIR Filed
Some people put stickers with angry words about India's Prime Minister on a big government billboard in the city of Ahmedabad.
The billboard showed the Prime Minister and told people about a solar power program called PM Surya Ghar.
The stickers were put up on August 5.
The words on the stickers were about a student protest in New Delhi called Jantar Mantar.
The students were upset because there was a problem with the NEET exam paper.
The people who put the stickers also broke part of the billboard's frame and lights.
The company that handles the billboard told the police what happened.
The police filed a case to find out who did it.
Nobody has been arrested yet, and the stickers have been taken down.
