Lucknow: An FIR has been registered against Shubham Kharwar, the state’s General Secretary for National Students’ Union of India (NSUI), for allegedly putting up objectionable posters in Lucknow, targeting Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

The posters, discovered at the Darulshafa MLA residence complex in Hazratganj area, featured controversial content that purportedly maligned the image of the Chief Minister, prompting swift police action.

According to the complaint filed by Dharampal Singh, a resident of the MLA complex, he noticed the poster at the gate of the Darulshafa MLA residence around 8:25 AM on April 1. The poster read, as translated from Hindi: “I will not allow peace to prevail in the state and will keep the people of the state troubled in every way.”

This was written under a tag bearing the Chief minister’s name separately. Underneath the statement was the candidate’s name and designation in the students’ body, mentioning “student leader from Lucknow University.”

Dharampal Singh alleged that the incident has caused public anger and accused “anti-social elements” of attempting to tarnish the image of the Chief Minister and create social and religious unrest. He urged authorities to take immediate legal action in this direction.

Following the complaint, the Hazratganj police station registered an FIR against Shubham Kharwar. Further investigation is underway.
