Those who indulged in spreading rumours and misleading information about the alleged misuse of Chief Minister’s helicopter when he was away in Japan and South Korea in the first week of December 2025 may have to face the music as the Cyber Cell of the Ludhiana Police Commissionerate has registered an FIR against them.
Though an FIR under sections 353 (1), 353 (2), 61 (2) of BNS was registered at Cyber Cell Police on the statement of SHO Satbir Singh on December 12, the action has not been made public due to technical reasons.
ACP (Cyber Cell) Murad Jabir Singh Gill is supervising the progress of the case but neither he nor his staff confirmed whether any of the accused have been arrested or not.
Sources revealed that the Cyber Cell, Ludhiana, had booked at least 10 persons or entities, including organisers of social media platforms, for allegedly undertaking criminal conspiracy, spreading false statements, rumours or alarming news with intent to incite hatred or enmity among groups and spreading misleading and false information.
Mintu Gursaria, Gagan Ramgarhia, Harman Farmer, Mandeep Makkar, Gurlal S Mann, Sanamu Dhaliwal, Manik Goyal, Deep Mangli, Arjun live and Lok Awaj Tv are among suspects.
