A plea has been filed in the Delhi high court seeking directions to Twitter and the city police to take action against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for revealing the identity of the relatives of a rape and murder victim in Delhi in a post. The victim was a minor.
In the petition, social activist Makarand Suresh Mhadlekar has alleged that Gandhi has violated the provisions of the Juvenile Justice Act and the Prevention of Children from Sexual Offences Act.
“Both the acts have provision, which mandate that the identity of a child victim of a crime shall not be disclosed,” it said. HC is likely to hear the plea on August 11.
