One of the poster splashed with black colour by the miscreants
Rajkot: Three persons were detained on Thursday for blackening the faces of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and chief minister Vijay Rupani on posters put up in Rajkot city.
The posters were put up by Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) on the walls of the newly constructed Kishanpara underpass in centre of the city. Some of the posters on which black ink was smeared were placed on a bridge during the inauguration last year by CM.
The posters targetted by the miscreants include those thanking PM Modi for providing free vaccination to all. The posters showing pictures of Modi and Rupani taking the Covid vaccine dose and urging people to take the jab were also splashed with black colour.
