Indian police have started a crackdown against those who are posting comments on social media against politicians.
In the latest developments, five men – all Muslims – were arrested and charged under the information technology act for posting offensive remarks on one of the biggest social media forum against Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
