Following the complaint by Singh, Udaipur police registered a case against the holder of the Twitter account ‘KViayan’. CM Ashok Gehlot also directed Udaipur IG and SP to look into the matter and take action.
Acting upon the CM's direction, several police teams began a hunt to identify and arrest the accused, said police.
