Academic Madhu Purnima Kishwar has approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking quashing of an FIR registered by the Chandigarh Police over a social media post concerning a video clip allegedly showing Prime Minister Narendra Modi receiving a face massage from a woman.
Justice Vikram Aggarwal directed the Chandigarh Administration to file an affidavit addressing the assertions made by Kishwar in her petition.
Sibal submitted that another user, Zubair Mohammed, subsequently claimed that Kishwar's post implied that the person in the video was the Prime Minister.
Kishwar immediately responded to that post, stating that the person shown in the video was “not likely to be the Prime Minister.”
