Facebook posts continue

A day after former Dy.SP Anupama Shenoy disowned the Facebook account from which many comments against the government and particularly Minister of State for Labour P.T. Parameshwar Naik were made, posts continued to surface on the same account on Friday too.

The account was created in 2012, with the profile name Anupama Shenoy.

Responding to a report in the media that the government might book her for sedition, a post addresses the government as “Duryodhana” and has used a swear word to describe those in power, warning that the Constitution is owned by nobody.

Meanwhile, the cyber police, when quizzed whether it would probe who was posting these messages, said it was up to Ms. Anupama to lodge a complaint if the Facebook account was really hacked. “Now that the government has accepted her resignation, she is no longer a public servant, so why should we take up a suo motu case and probe when there is no complaint?” a cop said. Sources in the Police Department said that as far it is concerned, the issue is “a closed matter” and they had no grounds to book a case against the former officer, unless someone lodges a complaint against her.
