Hyderabad | Thursday | 17th January, 2019

Summary:

Recently, the SC while dealing with a petition filed by rights activists had observed that cops who still invoke Sec 66A can be jailed. Neredmet inspector A Narasimha Chary told TOI, "The accused posted a video on the internet with malicious content against Mynampally. I am inquiring into the case as to how they did it and will take action as per the law.” Rachakonda police commissioner Mahesh Muralidhar Bhagwat has now ordered a probe by Malkajigiri DCP Umamaheswara Sharma into the use of 66 A to arrest the accused. Apart from the complainant and a student, the inspector himself has been mentioned as a witness in the case..
