Now a day’s everybody on social media can be trolled by naive social media users whether it’s our PM or CM but doing something like that may put you in trouble as well. The same thing has happened with a boy who is resident of Nithari, Noida. The boy had allegedly liked and shared a defamatory photo of PM Modi and Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath after which an FIR was registered against him in sector 20 police stations.

Police had registered the FIR after they got complaint from Umesh Tiwari from Hindu Yuva Vahini that a boy is circulating offensive and defamatory photographs of PM and Uttar Pradesh CM. Police is now trying to identify the origin of the photograph from where it has become viral.

People are required to get aware about cyber laws and must understand that using anything objectionable, defaming and disrespectful may get you behind the bars as per under Section 507 of Indian Penal Code and Section 67 of The Information Technology Act .
