Police arrested one person for posting an offensive comment against AP Chief Minister Chandrababu. The accused, Shivaprasad from Satyasai district, was booked for spreading false propaganda about the CM. Authorities confirmed strict action for such online activity.
CID SP warned that abusive or misleading social media posts will not be tolerated. The state government is treating such incidents as serious and has directed officials to act quickly against offenders.
Home Minister Vangalapudi Anitha said a new bill will target online hate and misinformation. She stated that cyber criminals misuse anonymity to spread hate and disturb public harmony, and laws will curb such actions.
On September 26, another case was reported from Marturu mandal. A man named Bhagyarao was arrested for posting abusive comments against the CM and his family. Police seized his phone after a complaint was filed.
While arrests instill fear, the government stressed that public awareness is the real solution to stop the spread of online hate and misinformation.
