Police in the area of computer crime followed the origin of the post and reset the accused.
The police officer said that after verifying his mobile phone, it was found that in addition to publishing invented social media contributions, the accused also resorted to morphine of images of popular political leaders and used them to create false messages and attacks on social media. “We booked him under BNS and it is,” DSP said, adding that further investigation was verified whether there was a greater conspiracy.
