FIR against AIB for 'meme on PM Modi'
TNN | Updated: Jul 14, 2017, 05:31 PM IST
HIGHLIGHTS
Tanmay Bhat.
- The Mumbai Police Cyber Cell on Friday registered an FIR against comedy group after they tweeted a post on PM Modi.
- AIB tweeted on Wednesday a meme about Prime Minister Modi by using the Snapchat dog filter.
MUMBAI: The comedy group All India Bakchod (AIB), which had last year found itself at the centre of a controversy for its promoter Tanmay Bhat's "roast" on cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and singer Lata Mangeshkar, has just landed itself in trouble again.
The Mumbai Police Cyber Cell on Friday registered an FIR against the comedy group after it tweeted a post on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
After AIB tweeted on Wednesday a meme about the PM by using the Snapchat dog filter, a Twitter user, Reetesh Maheshwari, wrote to the Mumbai police handle, calling the meme an "obnoxious prank" which ought to invite a legal action.
Maheshwari also wrote on the handle of the Mumbai police commissioner: "Pradhan Mantri ke liye is taike ka behuda Mazak par @AllIndiaBakchod and @thetanmay par sakt karwayi hona chahiye." AIB later removed the tweet with the meme on the PM.

Bhat, a co-founder of AIB, defended the meme in a post on the group's website and also took to Twitter to make his case, complaining about what he called "the lack of rational reasoning."
Mumbai police had last year also received several complaints about the use of abusive language in an AIB show held in the city.
A court directed the police to file FIRs against the show's organisers and prominent participants, citing violation of the Indian Penal Code sections dealing with conspiracy and obscenity. An FIR was filed against 14 persons in Pune as well.
WhatsApp Admin Arrested In Karnataka For Offensive Post On PM Narendra Modi

A WhatsApp group admin in Karnataka was arrested on charges of sharing obscene content about the PM
BENGALURU: A WhatsApp group in Karnataka that calls itself "Balse Boys" is in trouble over allegedly morphed pictures of Prime Minister Narendra Modi being posted on it. Two members have been arrested and the police are looking for another member, allegedly on the charge of sharing obscene content.
Krishna Sanna Thamma Naik, 30, the administrator of the group, has been arrested. Mr Naik is an autorickshaw driver.
On April 14, a complaint went to the police against the group from a man called Anand Manunath Naik. He alleged the Prime Minister's photo had been morphed to make it look "obscene and ugly", according to a police officer.
Two days later, a member, Ganesh, was called to the police station for questioning. He was arrested and let off on bail. Krishna Sanna Thamma Naik was arrested next. The police are reportedly looking for another group member, Balakrishna.
The group has been formed by men living in the Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka.
This is the first time that a WhatsApp group administrator has been arrested for objectionable content on a group.
Recently, a government order in Varanasi, PM Modi's constituency in Uttar Pradesh, said a rumour, a fake news story or videos deemed offensive posted on a WhatsApp group can land the administrator in jail. The Varanasi administration said it was responding to concerns over the misuse of social media to publish fake news, morphed photographs and videos with fabricated narratives that can trigger tension.
Social media platforms allow users to create a group on which members can share views, photographs or videos. A Delhi High Court order in December had ruled that admins cannot be held liable for content posted by any other member of the group.
"Surgical strikes doubters are traitors"

BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Wednesday said that those raising doubts over Army's surgical strikes are "traitors".
"Indian soldiers carried out surgical strikes in Azad Kashmir by risking their lives for the nation. Those who doubt the commitment of the Army are Jaichand (a symbol of treachery in Indian folklore)," Chouhan tweeted a day after a political slugfest erupted over the Indian assault across the LoC. Without naming the opposition leaders, Chouhan requested the "traitors" not to politicise matters related to Army action against the nation's enemies. "After the attack in Uri, our brave soldiers destroyed several terror launch pads across the LoC. They risked their lives for the nation's defence and the country is proud of them," Chouhan added.
BJP state chief Nandkumar Singh also criticized those questioning the authenticity of the strikes, saying, "Those raising doubts over the Indian Army are committing a sin. There is no need to respond to such irresponsible comments and demands."
Row over BJP MLA's remark
BJP MLA from Huzur, Rameshwar Sharma, stooped to a new low while attacking those questioning the veracity of the Army's surgical strikes in Azad Kashmir. Sharma said that those who don't believe the Army "are the kind people who would even ask proof of their conception from their parents". "The Army has been sacrificing life and blood for the nation and those who don't believe in them are traitors. They all are Pakistani agents. Their language and tone matches that of Nawaz Sharif," said Sharma.
Congress condemned Sharma for his controversial remarks. The party said, "He has always been playing dirty politics and his statements show how low BJP leaders can stoop to against their political rivals.
