Agartala, Oct 27: Madhavi Biswas, an Agartala-based woman digital content creator was arrested in Tripura on Sunday on the charge of spreading obscenity through social media.

She was produced at the Chief Judicial Magistrate's court on Monday, seeking her seven-day custody, and the court remanded her to three-day police custody.

Biswas, of late, became a regular content creator on her Facebook channel with her own style of slamming Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, former Chief Minister and BJP's Lok Sabha member Biplab Kumar Deb and Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) Mayor and BJP MLA Dipak Majumder on diverse issues.

Several AMC corporators and BJP leaders filed moré than a dozen complaints against Biswas in different police stations in Agartala.

Acting on a complaint lodged on Sunday by one Paramita Ghosal, a woman police team led by senior officials raided the residence of Biswas at Jogendranagar in West Tripura district and arrested her.

West Agartala police station's officer-in-charge Rana Chatterjee said on Monday: “Biswas was accused of spreading obscenity through social media platforms. A case under various provisions of IT and BNS (Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023) has been lodged against her.”

A complaint was lodged against her at East Agartala police station last month for criticising the Prime Minister’s visit to Tripura Sundari temple on September 22.
