BJP lodges police complaint against Divya Spandana for insulting PM Modi

BJP Thursday lodged a police complaint here against Congress social media chief Divya Spandana over posting an alleged "insulting" tweet against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, party leaders said.

BJP Tamil Nadu unit Treasurer S R Sekhar and a few other party workers in their complaint to the Cyber Crime Cell here sought immediate and stringent action against the actor-turned-politician, who was also a former MP from Karnataka.

Talking to reporters, Sekhar alleged Spandana in her tweet had made derogatory remarks against Modi while referring to the Rafale deal.

A case had been registered against her by the Lucknow police on a complaint by lawyer Syed Rizwan Ahmed over the tweet.
