’I Love You Pakistan’: UP man’s Facebook post lands him in trouble, booked in Bareilly

A man from Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly was booked for allegedly posting "I Love You Pakistan" on social media, PTI quoted an officer as saying on Monday.

According to the report, which quoted Izzatnagar Station House Officer (SHO) Vijendra Singh, the accused was identified as Tabrez Alam, a resident of Shikarpur Chaudhary Gautia, who made the post on Facebook.

Following Akhand Bharat Sankalp Nath Nagari 25 highlighted the matter via their social media handle on X, a complaint was registered under Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for actions deemed contradictory to national integrity.

SHO Vijendra Singh mentioned that Akhand Bharat Sankalp Nath Nagari 25 in their complaint wrote that the post harmed India's unity and integrity and demanded strict action against Tabrez.

Singh said Tabrez had earlier been accused of abducting a Hindu girl.

According to a complaint filed by the girl's father, she had left home with jewellery and cash after being allegedly lured by Tabrez.

He reportedly took her to Ghaziabad, where he tried to convert and threatened to kill her if she did not comply. Police are yet to find the girl and a hunt is still on for her.

Earlier in the day, a shocking incident has come to light in the Bhadohi district of Uttar Pradesh, where a man accused of raping a government hospital nurse has allegedly posted objectionable photos and videos on social media to extort money from her.

Based on the complaint of the nurse's father, police registered a case against the accused, Suraj Kumar Gautam, and his two associates, Dheeraj Maurya and Vinod Maurya, at Suriyawa police station in Bhadohi on Sunday.

According to a report by news agency PTI, Police Inspector Ajit Kumar Srivastava said the nurse was previously in a relationship with the main accused, during which he had taken her pictures and videos.

“When the father got to know about the matter, he lodged an FIR against him on charges of rape and blackmail. But the accused got a stay order from the Allahabad High Court in that matter,” Srivastava said.

Recently, the accused allegedly started demanding money from the woman and threatened to post objectionable pictures and videos online. On March 19, Suraj and his associates shared the content on a channel on the Telegram app, the police officer added.

The nurse's father approached the local police on Sunday, and an FIR was registered in the matter. Following this, the police launched a search for the three absconding accused.

Further investigations into the case are underway.
