Two held over doctored audio clip defaming UP CM
The accused were produced before a court that sent them to jail

Two social media promoters were arrested in connection with a case registered over a doctored audio clip allegedly defaming the Uttar Pradesh chief minister and the state government, police said on Tuesday. The arrested persons were identified as Ashish Pandey, a resident of Dilkusha Mantri Awas, and Himanshu Saini, a resident of Bazar Khala, Lucknow, it said.

Investigation
Pandey hatched a conspiracy to ruin competitor Khushwaha's image

Police Commissioner, Kanpur, Asim Arun said the arrests were made on Sunday and the accused were produced before a court that sent them to jail. Police investigation confirmed that complainant Atul Khushwaha, a resident of Kanpur, and Ashish Pandey were social media promoters and competitors. Pandey hatched a conspiracy to ruin Khushwaha's image as well as his business, Arun said.

Details
Pandey and Saini mixed conversations of two separate calls

Pandey and Saini befriended a 15-year-old boy from Patna on social media and recorded phone conversations with him, the police official said, adding later they doctored the audio clips by mixing conversations of two separate calls and uploaded it on social media. The doctored audio went viral and was also shared by former IAS officer Surya Pratap Singh and others.

Information
Original and edited recordings were recovered: Arun

The Police Commissioner claimed to have recovered original recordings as well as edited recordings and editing software from the laptop which was seized. "We are investigating how it reached those who tweeted this audio," he said.

Case
An FIR was lodged in the case

Kushwaha had filed a case with Panki police a week ago, blaming the former IAS officer, Saini, and Pandey for the audio clip. Subsequently, an FIR was lodged in the case, police said. Kushwaha stated that in the doctored audio recording, two people are heard talking about how some people are paid money for tweeting in favor of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
