West Bengal man arrested for insulting army, neighbors inform police

India Sep 27, 2025

Biswajit Biswas, a social media influencer from Aranghata, West Bengal, was arrested on September 26, 2024 after posting derogatory remarks about the Indian Armed Forces online.
His neighbors and friends reported his posts and Facebook Live sessions to the police, saying he used highly offensive language about military personnel.

Biswas apologizes for his actions

Biswas appeared in Nadia district court on September 27, 2024, and apologized for his actions but couldn't explain why he did it.
His arrest follows a recent pattern in West Bengal—like Operation Sindoor earlier this year—where authorities have acted against similar online comments about the army.
Locals have voiced their disappointment.
