Niti Deb, an eminent social activist and wife of former Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb lodged a police complaint at the West PS after she received an ‘absolutely false, defamatory and full of incitement’ WhatsApp message on her mobile.
She alleged the WhatsApp message was circulated naming the ex-chief Minister. She pointed out that it was a deep-rooted conspiracy. She demanded stern action against the persons involved.
In her complaint, Niti Deb said, “On May 16, I received one WhatsApp message from one Mobile No. 8257807496, the contents of which are absolutely false, defamatory and full of incitements. On inquiry, I found that the WhatsApp number itself is fake and probably used (in an) unauthorized (manner). The contents are attributed to Central Intelligent Agency while on initial personal inquiry I have grave doubts that the so-called report is actually non-existent and being circulated in the name of the Ex-Chief Minister so as to create sensation and also to infringe the security and sovereignty of the nation as a result of a deep-rooted conspiracy. Hence appropriate action may kindly be taken against the culprits”.
She pointed out, “one newspaper carried the malicious and defamatory news items on Tuesday based on the above fake WhatsApp posts”.
