# Delhi BJP files police complaint over Nitin Nabin food post 2026-08-26T19:32:40+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A delegation of the Delhi BJP, led by MP Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, has filed a complaint with the Delhi Police against the Congress party over a social media post. The post falsely accused BJP president Nitin Nabin of eating non-vegetarian food during the holy month of Shravan while on a tour of South India. The three-member delegation met Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central District) Rohit Rajbir Singh and submitted a detailed complaint. They have demanded registration of a case and action under sections 299, 302, 353, 356 and 61 of the Indian Penal Code for spreading misleading propaganda. BJP leaders alleged that opposition parties unable to compete politically are misusing social media to defame the party. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The complaint invokes multiple IPC sections covering defamation and public mischief, though police will determine if the post meets the threshold for criminal prosecution. Shravan is a period of ritual abstinence for many Hindus, making dietary allegations politically sensitive. The BJP's move signals an aggressive legal strategy ahead of upcoming state elections, where cultural and religious issues often feature prominently. The police investigation and any subsequent court proceedings will test how social media misinformation cases are handled under the current legal framework. A decision on registering an FIR is expected within days.
