More than 100 FIRs have been registered and six people have been arrested in connection with objectionable posters, including those with derogatory remarks against the Prime Minister, across the national capital.

As per the allegations, some parts of Delhi also had posters with the caption 'Modi Hatao Desh Bachao'.

Special CP Deependra Pathak told ANI that the Delhi police registered over 100 FIRs while six people have been arrested for objectionable posters including those against PM Narendra Modi across the city.

However, there was no mention of the printing press or the publisher on the posters.
