The Office of the Special Inspector General of Police, Maharashtra State Cyber Department, which is the nodal agency for cybersecurity and cybercrime in Maharashtra, has been actively monitoring the digital landscape, including various social media platforms, to identify and act against objectionable content that could disrupt public order or harm societal values.

In line with this vigilance, a formal complaint has been filed by a representative of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) against certain social media users for posting defamatory content aimed at creating public harm by inciting a law and order situation in Maharashtra.
