Delhi police has been directed by a court here to register an FIR against a man's wife and her family members for allegedly sending ‘indecent’ messages on his mobile phone with an intention to insult his religion.
Metropolitan Magistrate (MM) Saumya Chauhan ordered the Station House Officer of Jamia Nagar police station to lodge a criminal case under relevant provisions against five members of a Delhi-based family.
‘On perusal of the complaint and the documents, the court is of the view that SMSs sent by the respondent (wife's family) to the complainant (man) are highly obnoxious and indecent and are deliberately sent to him with an intention to insult his religion. Moreover, since the messages have been sent by mobile phone, hence section 66A of the Information Technology Act is also attracted,’ the magistrate said.
