Mumbai: For the first
time, an 'unknown' enemy has attacked Maharashtra Navnirman Sena
chief Raj Thackeray and his children, by creating fake online
accounts on social networking websites, forcing the party to seek
police help.
MNS vice-president Vageesh Saraswat Saturday said the party lodged
an official complaint with the Mumbai Police Cyber Cell Friday
night, demanding a probe into the incident.
Saraswat said that some MNS activists brought to the notice of the
party leaders that suspicious Facebook and Twitter accounts in the
names of Raj Thackeray, his son Amit and daughter Urvashi were
detected.
"Very objectionable and deplorable content is being created and
circulated about icons like Babasaheb Ambedkar through these fake
accounts. We decided to immediately inform the police and seek
their help in probing who is behind this mischief," Saraswat told
IANS.
The development follows another fake Facebook account created in
the name of M.H. Nadi Sarwar Khan, the editor of fortnightly
magazine 'Palghar Mirror'.
Apprehending trouble, as there was objectionable content on the
late Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray, Khan Friday lodged a police
complaint in Palghar town of Thane district, about 100 km from
here.
Two Palghar girls -- Shaheen Dadha and Reenu Srinivasan -- were
arrested in Maharashtra for a Facebook post questioning Mumbai's
shutdown following Bal Thackeray's death last month.
In another case, meat shop assistant Sunil Vishwakarma was
questioned for allegedly posting on Facebook objectionable matter
against MNS chief Raj Thackeray. Later, his Facebook account was
found to be fake.
