Kanpur traders will not celebrate Diwali this year. The reason: on Thursday, Uttar Pradesh police registered a criminal case against twenty-two traders for putting up hoardings and posters comparing Prime Minister Narendra Modi with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. They also arrested Praveen Kumar, a resident of Sharda Nagar for installing these hoardings. 

According to Hindustan Times, sub-inspector Rajesh Awasthi filed the FIR under section 32 (3) of UP Special Powers Act, section 153A and section 505 of IPC. Superintendent of police (south) Ashok Verma confirmed Kumar’s arrest and said others would be nabbed soon.
