As per the contents of the FIR, a sub-inspector (SI) was on patrol duty when he was informed by “secret sources” that a video had been uploaded on social media that was causing great anger among local people and could lead to violence.
The SI, who filed the complaint in the case, found that the video had gone viral. According to the FIR, it was found that the video was posted on YouTube on November 21 by a channel named ‘Akram official 50’ under the title ‘Records of Hindustan in Modi Sarkar’.
