A first information report has been filed under the Indian Penal Code for defamation, promoting enmity on the ground of religion and mischief.

The Bengaluru police is investigating a complaint in which a woman has been accused of putting up objectionable content against Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The BJP's Yuva Morcha filed a complaint against Prabha Belavangala for putting up objectionable content against Yogi on her Facebook page.

A first information report has been filed under the Indian Penal Code for defamation, promoting enmity on the ground of religion and mischief. It was alleged that the images of the UP CM were morphed which depicted him in very poor light.

Prabha has acted knowing fully well that it would cause the breach of public peace and also argued that the Facebook posts violate several penal provisions, the complaint alleged. It is alleged that Prabha is a habitual mischief and rumour monger. The complainants said that in the past she had put up inflammatory content on Facebook and cases have been lodged in the past as well.
