A complaint has been registered with the Cyber Crime Division of Howrah City Police in West Bengal against a Maharashtra-based woman for posting an ‘offensive’ tweet against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
In the complaint lodged by Calcutta High Court counsel Debolina Ghosh Das, it has been alleged that Sunaina Holey from Maharashtra used some of offensive words concerning the personal life of Banerjee in one of her tweets.
“The manner in which Holey used the offensive words concerning the personal life of the Chief Minister is unpardonable. I want the state police to take the help of Maharashtra police to arrest her and bring her to West Bengal. She should be tried in any court here,” Debolina Ghosh Das said.
Das also said that such expression on social media is not just an insult to the Chief Minister, but also to the entire womanhood.
“This is clear misuse of the freedom of expression. Proper action should be taken in the matter,” the complainant said.
Sources in Howrah City Police said that they have received the complaint and are also initiating necessary action in the matter.
