Maha: FIR against woman for critical social media post on 'Operation Sindoor'

Mumbai, May 11 (UNI) The city police have registered an FIR against a woman from Malwani area of Mumbai suburb for criticising 'Operation Sindoor' in a controversial social media post, police said here on Sunday.
The Malvani police station has registered an offence under Section 353 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for statements conducing to public mischief, along with applicable sections of the Information Technology Act against woman Salma Raffiq Khan (40), who runs a beauty parlour in the area.
According to police, the case pertains to a post shared by Khan on her Facebook account, in which she reportedly criticised Operation Sindoor, a recent counter-terror operation launched by armed forces.
In her post, she reportedly wrote, "Peace over head... When governments make reckless decisions, it's the innocents on both sides who pay the price - not the ones in power."
"The content posted was considered potentially inflammatory and disrespectful toward a national security operation. We have issued her a notice under the relevant procedural provisions. There are no prior complaints or cases against her," the officer added.
The post also contained an obscene reference to the operation, deemed offensive and provocative by
authorities.
The First Information Report was filed on May 10, and a notice has since been served to the woman, while the investigation is going on.
