Misuse of social media in terms of trolling political leaders has become rampant over the past couple of months. The Maharashtra Cyber Cell has deleted 7,000 such posts during the lockdown and 322 people have been arrested in similar cases. Officials from the Cell said that some used vulgar language and sent indecent messages to politicians as well.

Objectionable posts

According to the Cell, since the lockdown was imposed, many such objectionable posts came up on social media discrediting the government for the steps taken.
