An FIR has been registered against YouTuber Manish Kashyap and 3 other social media influencers for allegedly spreading defamatory and misleading content about Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari and the Centre's E20 fuel policy. The complaint alleges that the accused shared videos containing false claims and distorted facts, which could mislead the public and damage Gadkari's reputation. Police have launched an investigation into the matter. The E20 fuel programme, which promotes a 20% ethanol blend in petrol, is a key part of the government's strategy to reduce crude oil imports and lower vehicle emissions. (PC: India Today)
