The Maharashtra State Commission for Protection of Child Rights has carried out a notice against Congress President Rahul Gandhi and the social networking website, Twitter, for “disclosing” the identity of two minors who were assaulted brutally in Maharashtra’s Jalgaon district.
Amol Jadhav, a Mumbai resident from Chira Bazar, filed a complaint against Congress President for the same. Followed by the complaint, the commission has sought a revert from Rahul Gandhi and Twitter as to why action shouldn’t be taken against them.
