MUMBAI, July 26 : A Case has been registered against unknown individuals for creating and sharing false tweets on social media platform X, defaming Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla’s daughter Anjali Birla, an Indian Railway Personnel Service (IRPS) officer.
The police have registered a case on a complaint filed by Anjali’s brother at the Nodal Cyber Police Station in Mumbai. The investigation is underway, and no arrests have been made yet.
The cyber police have summoned the X user who posted the tweet and those who retweeted it.
