Man booked for remarks against PM, CM in audio clip

Kanpur:The police have registered a case against a person for abusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi, chief minister Yogi Adityanath, late minister Kamal Rani Varun and Akbarpur MP Devendra Singh Bhole.
The accused, Hafizpur ward resident Shahban Qureshi, while talking on phone with his business partner Ruchi a few days ago had an argument with her over some kind of monetary dispute and later abused the PM, CM, late state minister and local MP.
