FIR FILED AGAINST AIB FOR ALLEGEDLY POSTING OBSCENE PICTURE OF PRIME MINISTER

A defamation case was today registered against comedy group All India Bakchod (AIB) for allegedly posting an “obscene” picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Twitter.

AIB had yesterday tweeted a picture of a Modi look-alike peering into his mobile phone at a railway station alongside an actual photograph of the PM, with props superimposed with the help of Snapchat’s dog filter, an app.

The dog filter is a special effect application which allows users to add a dog’s nose, ears and tongue over their faces while taking a selfie or on other photographs. The post had a hashtag that apparently referred to Modi’s frequent foreign visits.

A Twitter user, Reetesh Maheshwari, drew the Mumbai Police’s attention towards it and demanded action.

The police forwarded his tweet to the Cyber Police Station, which registered an FIR.
