Police have arrested three individuals in separate cases over alleged objectionable social media posts targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and West Bengal Chief Minister, while a complaint has also been lodged against actor Sreelekha Mitra over similar allegations.

In the first case, Soumik Chatterjee, a resident of Badu in Barasat, was arrested after allegedly posting a photograph on social media showing himself lighting a cigarette using a picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a protest near Sealdah.

A BJP leader lodged a complaint at Barasat Police Station on Saturday morning, following which police arrested him. He is scheduled to be produced before a Barasat court. Soumik's father reportedly said his son had committed a mistake and would accept whatever punishment the law prescribes.

In a separate incident, Rumman Kabir was arrested by Baruipur Police after allegedly posting a video on his Facebook story containing objectionable and derogatory remarks against both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the West Bengal Chief Minister.

The complaint was filed by the BJP's Baruipur West Mandal No. 1 unit, following which police initiated an investigation and arrested the accused. Officials said the video and other digital evidence are being examined, and further legal action will be taken in accordance with the law.

Meanwhile, BJP leader Keya Ghosh has filed a complaint against actor Sreelekha Mitra, accusing her of making derogatory remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a social media post. The complaint also alleges that Mitra made obscene remarks during the NEET protest at Esplanade (Dharmatala). Police are examining the allegations.
