Overview

  • Police in Gadchiroli, Maharashtra, registered an FIR citing BNS sections 196(1)(a)(b), 356(2)(3), 352 and 353(2) after BJP MLA Milind Ramji Narote’s complaint.
  • The Maharashtra complaint alleges Yadav’s posts called the prime minister a liar and shared a song claiming he lies morning and evening, with screenshots submitted as evidence.
  • A separate FIR in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, followed a complaint by BJP city president Shilpi Gupta over a post that referred to Modi as a vote thief, invoking BNS sections 353(2) and 197(1)A.
  • Reports state the posts were tied to Modi’s visit to Gaya, where he launched projects and flagged off the Amrit Bharat Express and a Buddhist Circuit Train.
  • Responding on Saturday, Yadav said he is not afraid of FIRs and described his remarks as speaking the truth, while police confirmed the case registrations.
