Kolkata: A widely shared WhatsApp message, seeking to link CJI D Y Chandrachud’s wife with Shyamapada Das, said to be the head of the so-called “North Bengal lobby” in the state health set-up, has prompted cops to issue a stern warning against attempts at spreading malicious disinformation.
The West Bengal Police on Sept 7 took to their ‘X’ handle to debunk the fake message being circulated on social media platforms.“It has come to our notice that extremely derogatory and baseless aspersions are being cast by some people in social media about the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India including the Hon’ble Chief Justice of India. Exploiting freedom of speech to indulge in wild falsehood, that too against the Hon’ble Apex Court, is illegal and punishable. Sternest possible legal action will be initiated against those trying to malign the judiciary,” they wrote on their social media feed.
