A woman functionary from the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen approached Mumbai Police seeking action against two persons. The AIMIM functionary sought action against the two for allegedly posting objectionable messages on social media, an official told PTI on Monday.
The AIMIM Mumbai Women's cell chief Rizwana Khan, reportedly, told the cops that the duo made condemnable remarks on X (formerly Twitter) against her and her party colleague and former MLA Waris Pathan.
The official said that Khan in her application stated that the police must register a First Information Report against the two for stalking, sexual harassment and making communal statements per the PTI report.
An official from Malwani police station told news agency PTI that Khan's application is being reviewed and a case will be registered if necessary.
Meanwhile, in an unrelated incident from Navi Mumbai, a man was booked on Monday for repeatedly raping a 25-year-old woman in the city, according to a police officer. A PTI report stated that the suspect also blackmailed the woman.
