Delhi Court rejects clean chit to Manish Sisodia for misleading tweets

New Delhi: A Delhi court on Monday directed the Delhi Police Commissioner to submit a fresh report on the complaint filed against Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia for posting “misleading” tweets. Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Vishal Pahuja issued the order after refusing to accept the Action Taken Report (ATR) filed by the Delhi Police in the matter on Monday. The commissioner has to file the report by March 17.

The police, in its report, gave a clean chit to Sisodia for posting alleged “misleading” tweets during December 15 Jamia violence, observing that he only posted his “opinion” and tweets were mere allegations against the police.

“From the perusal of the complaint, it is revealed that the tweets are mere allegations against police and no offense is made out. Manish Sisodia only tweeted his opinion on a video clip which was running on news channels and no cognizable offense is made out from the content of tweets,” the police submitted in the Action Taken Report (ATR). The court had earlier this month directed the police to file an Action Taken Report (ATR) on a complaint filed by an advocate seeking registration of FIR against Sisodia for posting “misleading” tweets.
