Social Media Post Lands Telanganan in Legal Hot Water

A 43-year-old man from Adilabad district in Telangana has been taken into custody in Mumbai for allegedly posting provocative content on social media, causing animosity between groups and insulting law enforcement.

The accused, who had been residing in Tanzania, reportedly shared inflammatory text and voice messages through an instant messaging platform. He was prompted by the arrest of a rowdy-sheeter.

Authorities registered a case earlier this year and issued a Look Out Circular to track him. Upon his arrival in India, immigration authorities detained him, and Adilabad police subsequently arrested him. His passport and two cell phones were confiscated.
