"The Lie Lama" read the posters over a monochrome photo of PM Modi
Police have received complaints about posters from several Delhi areas
Locals were questioned to ascertain identity of people behind the act
The police have received complaints about the posters from several areas in central Delhi which fall under the New Delhi Municipal Council or NDMC besides Model Town and Moti Nagar. The posters were also widely shared on social media in the last few days, accusing PM Narendra Modi of making false promises.
Leaders and members of the BJP have objected to the posters. Acting on the complaints, the police registered the case last night after removing them from a wall in Mandir Marg's J-Block area. They say the posters don't have the name of any printing establishment on them. Since the posters were put up on government property, the police registered a case under the defacement law against unknown people. Local residents would be questioned to ascertain the identity of the people behind the act, they said.#BJP4BetterKarnataka
