12 booked for posting edited, defamatory video of Fadnavis on social media

Hindustan Times  

MUMBAI: The Maharashtra police’s cyber cell has registered an FIR against 12 unidentified social media users for posting a “maliciously edited” video of one of chief minister Devendra Fadnavis’s speeches about Naxalism. “The complaint pertains to 12 social media users across platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube,” said special inspector general of police Yashasvi Yadav from the Maharashtra State Cyber Department. “The video originates from Fadnavis’s time as deputy chief minister, with his original address being modified before widespread distribution on social media channels.” Yadav added, “The video has been deliberately taken out of context to falsely portray the chief minister of Maharashtra saying that he does not believe in the Constitution of India, democracy, or any constitutional body, and suggesting that he aims to create a parallel state. The maliciously edited video has gained traction among certain unsocial elements who are using it to post derogatory, abusive, and objectionable comments.” Maharashtra Cyber has issued notices to social media platforms to provide information about the 12 users who posted the video.
