The Delhi Police on Monday filed a first information report against unidentified persons for allegedly making lewd comments on Twitter about the daughters of Indian cricketers Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma, reported ANI.
The FIR was registered by the police’s Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations unit based on a complaint by Swati Maliwal, the chairperson of Delhi Commission for Women.

The police said that prima facie offence under Section 67B(d) (Punishment for publishing and transmitting of material depicting children in sexually explicit act, etc) of the Information Technology Act was made out.
