Ruckus over online posts on PM: 2 from Cong face cases

The controversy escalated after Singh responded to a contentious post originally made by an individual named Ishwar Dubey, adding a vulgar remark aimed at PM Modi. Later, after hours of uproar and initial probe, an FIR was lodged and Singh was taken into custody for questioning. The BJP leaders, upon discovering the post, gathered in large numbers at the police station led by party members including Sharad Gupta, Nitesh Mishra, and Sweety Kaushik, pressing for immediate legal action. Senior BJP leaders said that Singh, a former Congress candidate from Vaishali Nagar and a known face in local politics, had crossed all lines of decency. "This kind of language against the Prime Minister is unacceptable and deeply offensive," said a BJP representative. CSP Bhilai Nagar Satyaprakash Tiwari told the media that Singh was detained and was being interrogated.
