Man arrested from Ranchi for posting morphed PM Narendra Modi pic

RANCHI: A team of the Maharashtra police with the help of their Ranchi counterparts on Friday arrested one Shamim Jawed Ansari from the Itki police station area in Ranchi for making objectionable posts with morphed photographs of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath and other political leaders on his YouTube channel.
A case in this connection was registered with the Nigdi police station in Pune of Maharashtra. The case was filed under sections 295A, 505, 153(4) of the IPC and sections 67 and 67A of the Information Technology Act against more than 10,000 YouTube channels and portals.
These channels and portals were making indecent posts against the politicians. During their investigation, the Nigdi police found that Ansari was running one of the portals from Itki in a similar manner. He is accused of editing the photos of the political leaders in an objectionable manner and showing them in his portal.
Senior SP (Ranchi) Kishor Kaushal said, “We assisted the Maharashtra police team in nabbing the accused person from the Kundi Patratoli village. After his arrest, Ansari was produced before the court for transit remand and then taken to Maharashtra.”
