The Delhi Police has booked Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra for her derogatory remarks against National Commission of Women (NCW) chief Rekha Sharma.
The National Commissioner for Women lodged a complaint with the Delhi Police alleging that in a purported repost of a tweet (on social media platform X), by Ms Mohua Mitra, MP, has committed the offence under section 79, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) - 2023.
The Delhi Police Special Cell's Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) has been asked to probe the case.
As per the case details, Moitra had commented on a video showing Rekha Sharma’s arrival at the site of Hathras stampede on July 4. The video showed a man walking behind, holding an umbrella over her. The video was shared on X, with a social media user questioning why Rekha Sharma could not carry her own umbrella.
Mahua Moitra responded to the tweet, saying, "She (Rekha Sharma) is too busy holding up her boss's pajamas".
The IFSO is presently taking all the content from the social media handle into consideration to probe the case further.
