Three Individuals Face Legal Action for Obscene Facebook Posts Targeting BJP MLA Ketakee Singh

Three men were booked for allegedly posting derogatory comments about BJP MLA Ketakee Singh on Facebook. The police intervened after local reactions prompted FIRs in two police stations.

Police have charged three individuals in separate incidents for allegedly making derogatory remarks about BJP MLA Ketakee Singh on Facebook. Superintendent of Police Rajesh Kumar Mishra stated that the comments provoked strong reactions from the community, resulting in FIRs being filed at Bansdih and Sahatwar police stations on Wednesday.

In Bansdih, a case was registered against Shivendra Satyarthi under section 79 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and section 72A of the Information Technology Amendment Act. The complaint was lodged by station house officer Rakesh Upadhyay. Satyarthi is accused of using offensive language against Singh in a Facebook post, which police believe could disrupt public peace.

Social Media Comments Spark Legal Action

Meanwhile, Sahatwar police took action against Ajay Yadav and Satyadev Yadav under section 67 of the IT Amendment Act. This followed a complaint by local BJP mandal president Mithilesh Tiwari. The two are accused of making indecent comments about the MLA on social media.

On Wednesday, Samajwadi Party women workers protested outside Ketakee Singh's residence in Lucknow. They were reacting to her comments about party chief Akhilesh Yadav. The protestors allegedly made accusations regarding missing fittings from the former chief minister's residence.

Protests and Allegations

Ketakee Singh, who was in Ballia during the protest, claimed that the demonstrators caused a disturbance and attempted to enter her home. She also mentioned that her 15-year-old daughter was frightened by the incident and had to miss school as a result.

The situation highlights ongoing tensions between political parties and their supporters, with social media becoming a battleground for such disputes. Authorities are taking these incidents seriously due to their potential impact on public order and safety.
