New Delhi: Cybercrime police have registered two cases against the operators of several Facebook and Instagram accounts, as well as the India head of Meta, over the alleged circulation of morphed and objectionable content targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)-led agitation over the NEET paper leak issue.

The cases were filed following complaints lodged by BJP supporters, who alleged that manipulated videos and edited images of the Prime Minister were shared across social media platforms with the intention of spreading misleading and offensive content.

According to the complaints, the posts were circulated on Facebook and Instagram during the protests related to the alleged NEET paper leak, prompting the cybercrime authorities to initiate legal action.

Police have registered two separate cases and launched an investigation to identify those responsible for creating and sharing the content. Authorities are also examining the role of the social media platforms and their compliance with applicable laws.
