Delhi Police Notified X Accounts Over Abusive Posts About PM Modi During CJP Protest

Delhi Police have sent notifications to several social media accounts, including those of certain news portals due to offensive posts directed against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and security personnel during student protests in the capital and abroad.

According to sources, the authorities have sent notices to X accounts asking information about those who have posted offensive language. However, the number of X accounts that have received warnings is instantly unknown.

The police took action after reviewing the content that were uploaded during the protests. Police have examined comments, videos, and posts on various social media sites for potential legal infractions and their prospective effects on public order.

Prior to this, Delhi Police claimed to have discovered over 400 social media accounts purportedly connected to Pakistan that were aggressively spreading rumors, deepfake videos, and false narratives about the protests.

Two days ago, Delhi Police ordered many social media sites to delete recordings and messages made during the student protests at Jantar Mantar and the violence associated with the July 20 “Sansad Chalo” march that contained derogatory and abusive statements about the Prime Minister.

Delhi Police said that amid the rallies and the ensuing violence in the nation’s capital, a number of messages containing derogatory language against the Prime Minister appeared on various social media platforms.

The Delhi Police’s social media monitoring team, according to officials, has been constantly searching internet platforms for similar content. Notifications are sent to the relevant social media intermediaries when offensive posts are found, instructing them to take down the information.

According to police, a number of offensive remarks and videos using derogatory language aimed at prime minister have already been removed after the force sent out notices.

Furthermore, the cyber and social media teams are keeping a careful eye on online activity connected to the protests in order to spot any more offensive posts and make sure that any content that is discovered to be in breach of relevant regulations is dealt with appropriately.
