Monday, December 13, 2021

Two days after Karnataka chief minister Basavaraj Bommai directed the state police to take action against those making ‘offensive’ social media posts on Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Bipin Rawat, police in Mysuru informed on Sunday it has arrested a 40-year-old man for a ‘derogatory’ post on the late defence chief.

Announcing the arrest, the police said that the man is from Mysuru, and works as a lab technician in a city-based hospital.

“Offensive Tweets and Social Media posts about the tragic chopper crash in which we lost our #CDSGeneralBipinRawat will not be tolerated. I strongly condemn all such messages and have instructed our Police Officials to take strict disciplinary legal action against the offenders. They should be booked immediately as this is absolutely unpardonable,” chief minister Bommai tweeted on Friday.
