MP man jailed under NSA for objectionable social media post

KHANDWA (MP): (Mar 11) The Khandwa administration has sent a man to jail under the stringent National Security Act (NSA) after he allegedly shared objectionable posts on social media to disrupt communal harmony, officials said.

Prabhakar Shinde, alias Prabhu (41), is accused of sharing posts on Instagram that hurt the religious sentiments of the Muslim community, they said.

The NSA empowers the government to detain individuals to prevent them from acting in a manner prejudicial to the defence of India, relations with foreign powers, the security of the country, or the maintenance of public order or essential supplies.
