Delhi Police closes probe into Congress toolkit complaint
In May, BJP leaders tweeted a document seemingly printed on the letterhead of the ‘AICC Research Department’ and alleged it was a toolkit to “destroy” Prime Minister Modi’s image. Twitter had then marked tweets by some BJP leaders, including Patra’s, as ‘manipulated media’.
A patrolling team deployed at Kotla Mubarakpur spotted three men on a bike and signalled them to stop. Months after they received a complaint from the Congress in connection with posts by BJP leaders alleging a “Congress toolkit”, the Delhi Police’s Special Cell has “closed” their inquiry into the complaint “as of now”.
Police sources said the complainants wanted to pursue the case in Chhattisgarh, where the state police had registered a case against BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra and former chief minister Raman Singh.
Police sources said the investigation team of the New Delhi Range of the Special Cell was asked a few days ago by their senior officials to close their inquiry.
“It was an inquiry, we were trying to understand the whole chain before approaching the alleged persons, but recently, we have been told by the complainants that they are more keen to pursue in Chhattisgarh, so we did not approach Patra,” an officer said.
