High court raps cops for inaction over post against Prime Minister Narendra Modi

BENGALURU: The high court on Tuesday pulled up police for not acting against a Chitradurga doctor who had posted an objectionable message against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a WhatsApp group.


Justice Aravind Kumar asked how police, who book cases against an ex-policeman for a insignificant comment against the chief minister, can ignore a post that spoke of killing the country's PM.

The judge warned police that the the court would call the home secretary to explain.

On February 27, 2019 Rathish Johnson had posted the offensive message.
