Chandigarh Police have filed criminal defamation and other charges against academic Madhu Kishwar for allegedly distributing deceptive content on social media. The case emerged following a complaint about misleading posts, prompting a police team to visit Kishwar in Delhi with a notice to join the investigation in Chandigarh.
Kishwar disputes the notice, claiming it references a Twitter handle not owned by her. Despite this, she assures full cooperation with the authorities, although she highlights not having received the FIR, impeding her response to the allegations.
According to the complaint, the controversial social media content misidentified individuals, causing reputational damage. The police are conducting further investigations to validate the claims and determine the involvement in the alleged smear campaign.
