Vijay Kalunkhe, the young complainant, stated that he filed a police report accusing Jitendra Awad of maligning the government to further his interests.
"Jitendra Awad wrote on social media that the subsidy for farmers who committed suicide has been Stopped. His statement may also raise the issue of law and order.
