MP: Congress MLA in trouble for ‘morphing’ PM’s photo

Indore, Aug 9 (IANS) Jitu Patwari, Congress MLA and president of the Madhya Pradesh Congress media cell, may find himself in trouble for allegedly tampering with a photo of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

A complaint has been lodged by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) with the Indore police in the matter. The police said a case will be registered after conducting an inquiry.

Patwari on Saturday allegedly shared a photograph of Prime Minister Modi on his Twitter handle. This picture was of the Bhumi Pujan of the Ram temple in Ayodhya but it was reportedly distorted. BJP leaders from Indore late on Saturday night filed a complaint with the DIG Harinarayan Chari Mishra and demanded registration of a case.

DIG Mishra said the BJP leaders have submitted an application demanding registration of a case under Information Technology (IT Act). Necessary action will be taken after conducting an inquiry on the application. The application claims the photo was presented in a distorted form and indecent comments were passed.

Patwari had removed the tweet on Saturday night.
