Sharmishta Panoli Row: Wajahat Khan Qadri, the Man Who Filed Case Against Influencer, Arrested in Kolkata

Kolkata Police arrested Wajahat Khan Qadri on Monday at Amherst Street for allegedly spreading hate speech on social media.
Qadri was on the run since June 1 after complaints and multiple summons prompted a case against him for hurting religious sentiments.
Qadri filed the original complaint against 22-year-old social media influencer and law student Sharmistha Panoli, who was arrested on May 30 and later granted interim bail.
He faces charges under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections related to promoting enmity, malicious acts, and inciting public mischief, while the court ordered Panoli's protection due to threats.
Qadri will be produced in court on Tuesday, and his arrest may affect ongoing investigations amid multiple complaints filed nationwide against both individuals.
