Nagpur Cyber Police register a criminal complaint (FIR) against social media users and content creators over alleged fake, misleading and defamatory posts targeting Union Minister Nitin Gadkari in connection with the government’s Ethanol-blended fuel (E20) policy. Multiple outlets report that the posts appear to focus on the ethanol row surrounding E20, which has faced public and political debate. The action follows a complaint lodged by a BJP social media official. Times of India and News18 identify the complainant as Shishir Arun Tripathi, convener of the BJP Nagpur City Social Media Cell, and state the FIR names four content creators. Other reports, including Mint and The Hindu, describe the FIR as being filed against several social media users/content creators without listing individuals. The authorities allege the accounts shared content that was misinformation and defamatory. The FIR reflects ongoing scrutiny of online campaigning related to the E20 rollout. The reports do not state the specific claims made in the posts or any court outcomes, and they present the allegations as part of an ongoing investigation.
