Man held over social media post threatening PM Modi, Amit Shah

Hyderabad: A man was arrested here on Thursday after allegedly posting a social media post threatening to behead Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

In the post, the man stated that the RSS and BJP leaders should apologise for the controversial remarks about Prophet Mohammad made by suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma, or their heads would be severed.

According to police, the Moghalpura police department booked a case against the man for the inflammatory post and arrested him on Wednesday.

He was brought before a local court, which ordered the police to serve him with a notice under Section 41A of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), according to a senior police official.

According to Section 41A of the CrPC, if an arrest is not immediately necessary, the police must issue a notice directing the person (to appear before a police officer) against whom a reasonable complaint has been made to appear.

As a result, police issued the notice to the man, who was later released, according to the official.
