Following the tragic terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed 26 lives, a controversial video posted by social media figure Ms. Panoli has sparked legal and political turmoil. In the video, she made anti-Islamic remarks, used offensive language toward Pakistan, and mentioned an unverified “Operation Sindoor,” leading to widespread outrage. Despite issuing an apology on May 15—the same day the FIR was filed—Panoli was arrested and remains in judicial custody until June 13. Her bail plea was rejected, with the court citing the early stage of the investigation.
TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh condemned the video, calling it a “deliberate provocation” that could severely impact public harmony. Legal experts warn the case could set an important precedent for how hate speech and misinformation are handled on social media platforms. The incident has reignited debate over the limits of free speech, especially during national crises. Political parties and law enforcement are emphasizing the importance of responsible digital conduct in maintaining communal peace. The case underscores a growing need for accountability in the online space as India navigates rising tensions and rapid digital engagement. Stay tuned to Democratic News TV for the latest updates on this unfolding story.
