Police in Delhi have taken down nearly 2,000 anti-Modi posters from various locations in the city, sparking a crackdown in which four people were arrested and 44 cases have been filed. The majority of the posters featured the slogan “Modi hatao, desh bachao (Remove Modi, save the country)”. Police said the arrests were made for defacing public property and because the posters failed to display the name of the printing press. Some 2,000 posters were allegedly being delivered to the Aam Aadmi Party and were seized by police when they intercepted a van in the IP Estate area in Central Delhi. Two arrested printing press owners told the Delhi Police that they had been commissioned to print 50,000 “Modi Hatao, Desh Bachao” posters.
