India police register case against Meta India head over Facebook posts of PM Modi

Indian police have registered a case against the head of Meta India in Hyderabad over Facebook user posts that portrayed Prime Minister Narendra Modi in an abusive manner. Meta said police plan to contact the company about the case. The story is primarily a regulatory/legal headline for Meta rather than a direct business update, but it highlights ongoing scrutiny of content moderation and political sensitivity in India, a major growth market. The immediate market impact is likely limited unless the case expands into broader regulatory action, platform restrictions, or reputational damage that could affect Meta’s operations in the region.
