Prime Minister Narendra Modi's picture popping up in the list of 'Top 10 criminals' in a Google image search has unleashed a verbal spat on Twitter between his fans and his opponents.
Three of his pictures and one poster appear while searching for 'Top 10 criminals' and a search for 'Top 10 criminals in world' throws up two images of Modi.
Apart from Modi, the 'Top 10 criminals' search throws up images of India's most wanted don Dawood Ibrahim, actor Sanjay Dutt, former US President George W Bush, slain terrorist Osama Bin Laden, among others.
The search result has sparked a debate on Twitter, where Modi fans (or Modi bhakts, as they are called) have lashed out at the search engine demanding apology, while others took the opportunity to take potshots at him.
I think one of Indian Muslim join #Google soon thats why @narendramodi shows in #top10criminals !!

Google is a repeat offender, they have posted racist images of Michelle Obama and Jews. I hope Indian govt sues them. #Top10Criminals — prasanta behera (@areheb129) June 3, 2015
