Based on the complaint, the Maharashtra cyber police registered an FIR against the particular Facebook ID and later they found that Panchal was using a male ID to dodge law enforcement agencies as her original account was taken down by Facebook in November 2021 for making similar comments against Amruta Fadnavis.
"This time we have arrested her under various sections of the IPC and IT act. Her laptop and mobile phone have been seized for further investigation." a police officer said.
Earlier, in August, one person was arrested by Pune rural police for making objectionable comments on Amruta Fadnavis.
