The complaint was filed at the Cyber Crime police station in Bengaluru by a team of lawyers representing the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC). A case has been registered against the Karnataka BJP’s X account for allegedly sharing defamatory content targeting Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, and other ministers.
The complaint was lodged a day after the BJP posted a picture of the leaders with the caption “scam lords.” The post alleged the existence of a “scam empire looting Karnataka day and night.”
“This is the real story of the scam empire of the @INCKarnataka government that has been looting Karnataka day and night!!” the post said, while sharing the image of the leaders.
According to an NDTV report, the KPCC lawyers accused the BJP’s X account of character assassination and of trying to create confusion in society.
Police officials said they have received the complaint, issued an acknowledgement, and registered a case in the matter.
