West Bengal CPI(M) Saturday filed a police complaint against a fake social media post attributed to party general secretary Sitaram Yechury. CPI(M) state secretary and Politburo member Surya Kanta Mishra in a letter to Kolkata Police deputy commissioner to the cybercrime cell said an image of Yechury is being circulated in the social media with the watermark of a website.
"In the said image malicious statements are being attributed to our General Secretary in a manner which will ultimately lead to communal disharmony," Mishra said in his complaint. He shared the link of the social media post attributed to Yechury.
*It also appears that the said social media page has a website spreading a variety of other malicious misinformation. Kindly take steps against the persons spreading such misinformation and restrain them from publishing such inflammatory material," he added.
A Kolkata Police senior official confirmed the receipt of the complaint and said it was being looked into.
