MUMBAI: Maharashtra nodal cyber police on Wednesday registered a case against Dhruv Rathee for posting on his X handle an alleged fake message that Lok Sabha Speaker MP Om Birla’s daughter Anjali had cleared UPSC exams without appearing for it.
Police have booked Rathee under BNS sections for defamation, intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace, and statement leading to mischief, as well as IT Act.
The post on X handle Dhruv Rathee (parody)@dhruvrahtee claimed: “India is the only country where you can clear UPSC without sitting in the examination. But for that, you have to be born as a daughter of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. Om Birla’s daughter Anjali Birla cleared UPSC without giving any examination, she is a model by profession. Modi govt is making a mockery of our education system.”
Anjali (23) had cracked the tough three-test exams in the first attempt. Her name is also on the merit roll for Civil Services (Main) Exam 2019. Police said they filed the FIR on a complaint filed by Anjali’s cousin Naman Maheshwari.
