NOIDA: A 25-year-old man has been detained for allegedly posting morphed pictures of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath in a WhatsApp group.

The man has been identified as Imran, who works as a bike mechanic and lives in Noida’s Sector 16.

Imran had made a WhatsApp group to connect with his clients. A few days ago, he posted some morphed pictures of the PM and the CM.

Some members in the group objected to the photos but the accused did not delete them. Following this, a police complaint was filed under IT Act.

A police team on Saturday visited Imran’s shop and detained him. “We will take suitable action against him if we find any evidence against him for the post,” said an officer.
