Raipur Police Detain Social Media Influencer; Party Leaders Clash

In a development that has sparked a showdown between law‑enforcement and opposition politicians, the Civil Line police in Raipur detained popular YouTuber and influencer Soma Dewangan. The arrest stems from his alleged role in circulating a video that featured vulgar language directed at Mayor Meenal Chauhan’s handling of recent flood situations. The move was met with immediate protest from Congress workers, who assembled outside the police station demanding Dewangan’s release. The incident has now morphed from a simple case of online misconduct into a political flashpoint.
