The Delhi Police filed a status report on Wednesday in a court concerning alleged derogatory social media posts by journalist Rana Ayyub. The police await details from the X account involved, delaying further investigation.

Chief Judicial Magistrate Himanshu Raman Singh reviewed a petition by advocate Amita Sachdeva, which calls for complete incorporation of her complaint against Ayyub into the FIR. Sachdeva seeks proper naming of the accused and adherence to previous court orders.

Considering the allegations' severity, the court earlier ordered the registration of an FIR under specific IPC sections. Despite the initial FIR, the police still await crucial account details from X for further action. The matter is slated for more proceedings on July 30.
