Hyderabad: The State Chief Electoral Officer and Principal Secretary to Government, Dr. Rajat Kumar today filed a complaint with the Additional DCP, Cyber Crimes, that a ‘completely fake and defamatory post’ is moving around in What Sapp against him.
He said in the complaint that the message stated that the government had “given him 15.25 acres as a token gift for favoring them in elections”. The CEO stated that he had purchased the agriculture land in Hemajipur village, Balanagar Mandal, Mahabubnagar district, duly registering with the Sub-registrar, during 2013-2014 from different agriculturists with the permission of the State Government. He also enclosed copies of government memo in this regard.
Pointing out that such ‘malicious posts will hurt the institutional credibility of the office of the CEO’, Rajat Kumar requested the police to book an FIR and to ensure that the message was stopped from trolling forthwith, and make all efforts to trace out the culprits involved and punish them under the provisions of law.
