CHANDIGARH: The police have registered a case against a man who posted on X that Miraya Vadra, the daughter of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and businessman Robert Vadra, has assets worth Rs 30000 crores in her name. The post was shared by a man named Anoop Verma who describes himself as a flight lieutenant of the IAF. The Shimla police have registered a case under sections 153, 469, 500 and 505 against Verma.
The case was registered on the complaint filed by Congress member Pramod Gupta who alleged that Verma has tweeted a misleading, false and baseless post against Miraya. The Shimla Police has asked the Cyber Cell to collect information about the X account of Anoop Verma. The police are trying to find Anoop Verma through this.
As per the complaint, the post said that Miraya Vadra has wealth worth Rs 3,000 crore whereas the source of this wealth is that she is the daughter of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and granddaughter of Sonia Gandhi.
In his complaint, Gupta said that the false and baseless tweet was posted during the parliamentary elections so that it can adversely affect the credibility of the Congress and create a feeling of hatred towards the party in the minds of people.
The false post has hurt the reputation of Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and created anger among the Congress workers of Himachal Pradesh and general public due to which public peace could be disturbed, the complaint said.
