An official said on Tuesday that the police have registered a case against unknown persons in connection with the objectionable posters of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan that surfaced in Gwalior.
Superintendent of Police (SP) Rajesh Singh Chandel said, following a complaint regarding the objectionable posters of the chief minister, a case was registered under relevant Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections at Padav police station.
The accused have not been identified in the FIR (First Information Report) and further investigation is on, he said.
Posters bearing the name of a leading online payment app and a QR code with the name of a leading online payment app and Chouhan’s picture with the message “50% lao, kaam karao” (bring 50 per cent and get the work done) were put up in several cities of Madhya Pradesh. Including Gwalior in the last few days.
The ruling BJP had accused the Congress of putting up these posters, a charge denied by the opposition party.
The Congress claimed that the campaign was a response from the common people after the BJP launched a “poster war” ahead of the year-end assembly elections.
Earlier, objectionable posters of Madhya Pradesh Congress President Kamal Nath had surfaced in the state capital Bhopal.
