The Chandigarh Police have identified two additional suspects from West Bengal in connection with a controversial video that falsely links Prime Minister Narendra Modi to misleading claims. This development follows a complaint filed by Satinder Singh, a former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) councilor, on April 19, alleging that the video was circulated with the intent to harm the reputation of a constitutional authority and incite public unrest. The police had previously arrested Hassan Mohiuddin Siddiqi, while Madhu Purnima Kishwar remains at large despite being issued multiple notices to join the investigation. The complaint specifically names six social media handles involved in disseminating the video, which was first posted on April 12 by influencer Pardeep Kaur Dhillon. The Chandigarh Police have registered a First Information Report under various provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Information Technology Act, and further raids are planned to apprehend Kishwar after her anticipatory bail plea was dismissed by a local court.
