FIR against 3 Instagram accounts in Bengaluru for ‘offensive’ content against Rahul Gandhi

Three individuals operating Instagram accounts have been booked under an FIR in Bengaluru for allegedly posting offensive and defamatory content against Rahul Gandhi, a senior leader of the Indian National Congress. The FIR was filed based on a complaint from a member of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC), accusing the accounts—ground.reality_india, raashtravaadhi2, and manvithamanojsamanvi—of using 'defamatory and sexually explicit' remarks in a video posted on July 16. The complaint alleges that the posts were intended to insult the dignity of an elected public representative. This follows another FIR filed in Noida against a woman for allegedly using profane language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a protest. Rahul Gandhi has criticized the registration of FIRs against students, accusing Modi and Amit Shah of threatening youth with legal action. The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has condemned the use of criminal justice machinery against the woman, questioning why abusive language is treated as a criminal offense while many politicians remain unscathed.
