An FIR has been filed by the Karnataka Police against Amit Malviya, the head of the BJP’s IT cell, due to a video he shared criticizing Rahul Gandhi, a Congress leader. The complaint leading to the FIR was lodged by Ramesh Babu, co-chairman of the KPCC Communication and Social Media Department, and it was registered at the High Grounds Police Station on Tuesday.
As a result, both parties engaged in a verbal altercation, with the BJP claiming that the FIR was politically motivated, while the Congress accused the saffron party of failing to adhere to the country’s laws.
Amit Malviya has been accused multiple times in the past for sharing and spreading fake information and fake news on social media and WhatsApp. In the past his tweets have been marked as Manipulated Media for sharing content with incorrect context or shared content being fake altogether.
