The Hyderabad Cyber Crime Police have registered four cases concerning objectionable social media posts following the arrest of actor Allu Arjun.
One of the complaints was filed by the Congress party, alleging defamatory and objectionable posts targeting Telangana Congress Chief Minister Revanth Reddy.
The police have booked cases under the IT Act and Sections 352 and 353(1)(b) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), focusing on individuals responsible for spreading provocative or defamatory content online. Authorities are currently investigating those behind these posts.
These developments come amidst heightened political tensions and fan outrage surrounding Allu Arjun's arrest.
Law enforcement officials have emphasized their commitment to acting firmly against the misuse of social media platforms for incitement or misinformation.
This situation underscores the dynamic between fans exercising their perceived freedom of expression and the government's authority to enforce laws to maintain order and accountability.
