New Delhi: Delhi police has registered 100 first information reports and arrested six people over posters seeking Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ouster, the news agency ANI has reported.
Indian Express has reported that the number of FIRs are 44, that two of four arrested are owners of two printing presses. NDTV has also reported a similar number.
The posters, around 2,000 of which had appeared in New Delhi, were removed. A van carrying 2,000 more of them was intercepted. The two printing presses had been given orders for 50,000 posters saying, “Modi hatao, desh bachao,” – “remove Modi and save the country.”
Police told Indian Express that one of the arrested men had said that that he was asked by his employer to deliver the posters at the Aam Aadmi Party’s Delhi headquarters.
