The Malvani Police have registered a case against a woman for allegedly posting critical remarks on Facebook regarding &lsquo;Operation Sindoor&rsquo;. The FIR was lodged on May 10, and a formal notice has been issued to the accused, identified as 40-year-old Salma Raffiq Khan.
According to the police, Khan resides at Room 3, OCC, Malvani-Malad, and runs a beauty parlour in the Malvani area. Two days prior to the FIR, she had published a post on her Facebook account related to &lsquo;Operation Sindoor&rsquo;.&nbsp;
The post stated: &ldquo;Peace over head... When governments make reckless decisions, it's the innocent on both sides who pay the price &mdash; not the ones in power.&rdquo;&nbsp;
The post also allegedly contained an obscene term directed at &lsquo;Operation Sindoor&rsquo;.
Following the post, police filed the FIR under Section 353 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which addresses statements that could incite public mischief, along with applicable provisions of the Information Technology Act.&nbsp;
A police official said, &ldquo;We have issued a notice to her. There are no prior cases registered against her.&rdquo;
In a separate development, Juhu Police are investigating a group allegedly involved in an unlawful gathering and altercation at Vile Parle railway station. An FIR was filed on May 7 against six unidentified persons, one of whom was a woman wearing a burqa, for alleged unlawful assembly, verbal abuse, and physical assault.
The incident followed an earlier episode in which unidentified individuals pasted Pakistani flags near the ticket counter on the western side of Vile Parle station. The flags, which bore the message &ldquo;Step on it,&rdquo; were reportedly placed as a symbolic protest against recent terrorist attacks on tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. The individuals departed shortly after placing the flags.
Subsequently, the burqa-clad woman and her group arrived at the station and began removing the flags. Their actions reportedly disrupted pedestrian flow, prompting several people to intervene.&nbsp;
In response, the woman and her associates allegedly assaulted and verbally abused those who attempted to stop them, causing temporary unrest at the station. Juhu Police continue efforts to trace and identify the individuals involved.
