Delhi Magistrate orders FIR against woman for anti-Modi posts

December 10, 2013 16:02

In other news: The footsteps of fascism can be heard this time in the hallowed hallways of the national capital's courts.

A woman who filed an FIR against a man physically threatening her for her anti-Modi Facebook posts, found to her dismay that the Metropolitan Magistrate in the Tis Hazari courts let off the man accused of threatening her safety, while ordering an FIR against her instead!

The media's coverage of this outrageous incident has been, till now, biased and factually misleading. Sheeba Aslam Fehmi, a journalist and a Ph.D. Fellow in JNU, received several threats by emails from one Pankaj Kumar Dwivedi, which warned her of 'consequences' and even demanded she meet the man so that he could 'cleanse' her of her 'filth.'
