Punjab guv sends forensic report on minister’s ‘objectionable’ video to CM Mann

[ad_1]
Chandigarh: Governor Banwarilal Purohit has forwarded a forensic report of an “objectionable” video of a Punjab minister to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, said official sources on Saturday.
According to the report, the video was not morphed, said the sources.
The governor had sent the video to the Chandigarh Director General of Police to check its authenticity after Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira submitted it to him.

On May 1, Khaira handed over the “highly objectionable video of gross misconduct” of the minister to the governor for forensic verification.
Khaira also demanded that the minister be dropped from the Cabinet if the video was found genuine.
However, Khaira did not name the minister while submitting the video to the governor.
BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Monday claimed that one of Mann government’s ministers had tendered his resignation as his “obscene video” had been submitted to the Punjab governor.
Chief Minister Mann, however, said he had not received any resignation nor any such video.

Chhattisgarh: Man arrested for making objectionable remarks about community on social media

[ad_1]
Sukma: A man has been arrested in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma district for allegedly making objectionable remarks against a community in a viral video, police said on Thursday.
He was arrested on Wednesday evening on the charges of hurting religious sentiments, Sukma Superintendent of Police Sunil Sharma said.
The man allegedly posted videos on social media on Wednesday using objectionable language for Hindus and the Bharatiya Janata Party, the SP said.

After being alerted about his viral video post, police acted swiftly and arrested him with the help from fellow Muslims, Sharma said.
The accused was booked under sections 153 A (promoting enmity between different groups on ground of religion, etc), 294 (obscene acts and songs) and 295 (injuring or defiling place of worship) of the Indian Penal Code and provisions of the Chhattisgarh Agricultural Cattle Preservation Act, the official said.
Secretary of the Bastar Division Muslim Community Farukh Ali said the community did not support such “hooligans.”
“A so-called Muslim youth has made indecent remarks against Hindu brothers. We strongly condemn him and also appeal to the police to take strict action against him. Hindus and Muslims have always lived in peace and unity in Sukma and the entire Bastar division. We do not support such hooligans. We wanted to punish him but we cannot take law into our hands, therefore we handed him over to the police,” he added.

Man arrested for ‘objectionable’ social media posts against Andhra CM

[ad_1]
Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh Police have arrested a man for objectionable social media posts against Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and other leaders of the ruling party.
Police in Gannavaram in Krishna district arrested Ponduri Kotiratnam Anjan (34) for posting derogatory messages on social media. He, however, was released on bail by a local court on Thursday evening.
Police had registered a case against him under Indian Penal Code (IPC) section 153A. Stating that the accused is posting messages on social media defaming the government and promoting enmity between different groups, the police produced him before a judge. However, the judge refused to send him on remand and asked police to issue a notice for questioning.
Police seized his mobile phones and laptops, and sent the same to the forensic science laboratory for examination.
Anjan, who did his MS in the US and worked at a company there for three years before returning to India in 2015, was picked up by police from his house in Gannavaram on Wednesday. He was arrested on a complaint by a local worker of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP).
He was allegedly posting messages in favour of the opposition TDP and was targeting YSRCP leaders. Police questioned him if he was doing this at the behest of any TDP leader. The man claimed that he was posting the messages on his own.
Police said they will register a cyberbully sheet against the accused and will place a constant vigil.

Guj: VHP withdraws protest against ‘Pathaan’ after removal of ‘objectionable’ content

[ad_1]
Ahmedabad: The Gujarat unit of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Tuesday withdrew its protest against Shah Rukh Khan-starrer “Pathaan”, a day before its release, expressing satisfaction over the removal of “objectionable” contents from the film.
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has revised the “obscene song” and “lewd words” in the film and hence the right-wing groups will no longer protest against its release, the Gujarat VHP’s secretary Ashok Raval said in a statement.
“Pathaan” has been facing backlash for featuring actor Deepika Padukone in a saffron bikini in the song Besharam Rang’. Several leaders, including from the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, had sought a ban on the film, which is scheduled to release on Wednesday.
Talking to PTI, Raval claimed that in its recent circular, the censor board has made 40 to 45 corrections regarding songs, colour and clothes, which resolve the issues and hence, they no longer need to protest.
This was a victory of the Hindu community, he claimed.
The VHP leader in a statement said, “Following the Bajrang Dal’s protests against ‘Pathaan’, the Censor Board has revised the obscene song and unsavoury words in the film, which is good news. I congratulate all the activists and the entire Hindu community who fought this successful struggle for the protection of religion and culture.”
It is now up to the enlightened citizens to decide whether to watch the film, he said.
The right-wing groups had earlier threatened to stop the release of the film in Gujarat, while the state government had assured police protection to theatres following a representation made by multiplex owners.

Representatives of the Multiplex Association of Gujarat had last week met Minister of State for Home Harsh Sanghavi in Gandhinagar concerned about the threat they had received from various groups.
Sanghavi had assured them support and promised to deploy policemen outside movie theatres for smooth screening of the film.
Earlier on Sunday, five activists of the VHP were arrested in Surat for rioting after they barged into a movie theatre and tore down posters of the movie. Similar protests were reported earlier.
The advance bookings for “Pathaan”, backed by Yash Raj Films, opened from January 20. The film is reportedly set to be released across India on 5,000 screens. It is the first Shah Rukh Khan film to have 6 am shows.
