Bihar Govt diktat...

The additional DG of police explained that until now the service providers were asked to delete the defamatory content. But with the new order coming into force, FIRs would be filed against those misusing the social media platform against the government.

CM Nitish Kumar on January 5 had advised the police to keep a watch on social media as the platforms were being misused by vested interests. "Log kuch bhi likhte rahte hain," he had said in a meeting with officers. On January 16, while inaugurating a road project, he had questioned the loyalty of journalists. "Whom do you support?" he had demanded, responding to uncomfortable questions related to murder of an Indigo manager who was shot dead outside his house.
