Malvani Police in Mumbai have registered a first information report (FIR) against two individuals for allegedly posting derogatory remarks about Prophet Muhammad and using abusive language targeting the Muslim community on Instagram.

According to police sources, the complaint was filed a few days ago by social activist Muhammad Jameel Merchant, who alleged that the accused, along with more than a dozen other social media accounts, were circulating provocative content and attempting to incite communal tension online.
