Bengaluru police filed FIR for defaming Rahul Gandhi

An FIR has been filed in Bengaluru against Ratan Ranjan and others for allegedly posting defamatory content targeting Rahul Gandhi on social media. The complaint, filed by a Congress worker, alleges Ranjan posted a digitally altered image of Gandhi on X, placing his photo inside a sanitary pad with a mocking caption referencing a women's health initiative. The post was deemed lewd and intended to outrage the modesty of women. The police will issue notices to those named in the FIR, which was filed following the post's criticism of a campaign promoting menstrual hygiene.
