Chandigarh police have issued a second notice to Delhi-based author and activist Madhu Kishwar after an FIR was filed against her for allegedly sharing forged and misleading content on social media. Senior Superintendent of Police Kanwardeep Kaur stated that the complaint involved a post and video on social media containing false information about a constitutional authority, which was later found to belong to someone else. An FIR was lodged based on the complaint, and a preliminary investigation was conducted.
The investigation revealed that other social media accounts mentioned in the FIR had also shared the misleading content, along with some inappropriate comments that violated the IT Act. The accused has been summoned to participate in the probe as part of the ongoing legal process. The police are actively working with social media agencies and telecom service providers to identify those responsible for the dissemination of the content.
Madhu Kishwar, the individual issued the notice, was requested to appear for questioning but failed to do so. The police have re-issued the notice for her to join the investigation in the upcoming days. Kaur emphasized that legal proceedings will continue as the investigation progresses. Meanwhile, Kishwar claimed on social media that she was visited by the police to serve a notice but was not provided with a copy of the FIR.
