Delhi: Court orders FIR against BJP's Sambit Patra over ‘fake video’ of CM Arvind Kejriwal
Description
NEW DELHI: A Delhi court on Tuesday directed the police to lodge an FIR on a complaint filed by AAP spokesperson Atishi against BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra for allegedly posting a fabricated video of chief minister Arvind Kejriwal related to the farm laws on social media. The directions were given by Metropolitan Magistrate Rishabh Kapoor to register a case, said advocate Mohd Irshad, appearing for Atishi. The complaint alleged that the fabricated video was published on social media to cause provocation against the CM amongst the farmers, who repose strong faith in him. It has further stated that the video also maligned the reputation of the CM and was also purported to cause provocation leading to a situation of rioting in the community. It claimed that despite a complaint dated February 2, 2021, made to SHO of IP Estate police station and a complaint dated February 4, 2021, made to the DCP (Central), no action has been taken in the matter and hence the complainant approached the court seeking registration of FIR under the relevant sections of the law.
