Tripura Police have registered a case against a digital content creator accused of making derogatory remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi on social media, officials confirmed on Monday.

Madhabi Biswas, from Pratapgarh under East Agartala police jurisdiction, reportedly criticized the Prime Minister's visit to the Maa Tripura Sundari temple on September 22, posting a video questioning the necessity and public expenditure for the visit during Navratri.

The video, posted on September 25, alleged misuse of public funds for a brief temple visit. As the video gained attention, Yuva Morcha leader Rahul Bhattacharjee filed a complaint, which subsequently led to a police investigation. A second complaint by Mohila Morcha (BJP) was lodged at West Agartala police station.
