More than 100 FIRs have been filed and six persons have been detained in connection with offensive posters seen around the national capital, including some containing insulting statements about the Prime Minister.
According to the claims, posters with the message “Modi Hatao Desh Bachao” were also seen in various districts of Delhi. According to Special CP Deependra Pathak, the Delhi Police has recorded over 100 FIRs and six persons have been detained around the city for offensive posters, including those critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The posters, however, made no mention of the printing press or the publisher. The Delhi Police jumped into action and launched an inquiry.
According to the police, the FIR was filed in several districts around the city under provisions of the Printing Press Act and the Defacement of Property Act.
According to the Special CP, a vehicle was also detained as soon as it left the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) headquarters. A few posters were confiscated, and arrests were made.
The situation is being investigated further.
