A local Congress leader in Gurugram has been booked by the cyber police on the complaint of the BJP IT cell for allegedly spreading rumours and posting instigating material on social media against the party.

According to the complaint filed by Arun Yadav, IT Convener BJP Haryana, Tejbir Mayna, reportedly serving as the Vice Chairman at Haryana Kisaan Congress, was constantly defaming the party online.

"Over the past few days, some miscreants have been spreading false information and malicious rumours about BJP on Facebook and other social media platforms to create panic and fear in the mind of people of Haryana and wanting to disturb the peace and harmony among the different sections of the society. One such miscreant is Tejbir Mayna. The Facebook post, posted by him, attempt to portray the BJP top leadership in poor light and are intended to tarnish the image," read the complaint.

According to Yadav, it was on August 8 that Mayna had allegedly posted there is a rift in between BJP top leadership.

"The intention of the accused is very clear from his Post, where he fails to understand the ramification of his false/ misleading post that will create a state of panic among the public at large”, added the complaint.

Following the complaint, an FIR has been registered against Tejbir Mayna under sections 153A, 505 (2) of IPC at the cyber crime police station.

In a post on Facebook, Mayna apologised for putting up the "fake" post.

“We will serve notice to the leader to join the investigating soon. Further probe is on”, said inspector Mukesh Kumar, SHO of the cyber crime police station.
