In an intensified crackdown against the dissemination of sensitive content on social media, two individuals were arrested in Rajasthan's Churu and Barmer districts. They were accused of sharing provocative content and unauthorized Army movement footage amid ongoing military tensions.

Churu's 22-year-old Asif Khan, from Bajragsar, was apprehended by Sardarshahar police for allegedly spreading anti-national material online. The action follows close surveillance by cyber teams due to increasing tensions along the India-Pakistan border.

In a separate incident, Barmer police detained Jiya Ram Meghwal, also 22, for circulating a video of Army maneuvers. The arrests reflect a nationwide effort to prevent the spread of unverified military content, as highlighted by the police and central government advisories.
