Delhi cops file FIR against AAP members who abused Shazia Ilmi on Twitter

The Delhi Police on Friday filed an FIR against some Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supporters after Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Shazia Ilmi registered a complaint against them for abusing and trolling her on social media.

Ilmi on Tuesday had filed a complaint at Delhi's Mandir Marg police station against some AAP supporters for posting obscene remarks about her on social media.

Ilmi alleged that she had been targeted because of the upcoming Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) polls.

The BJP leader took to Twitter to express her anger and informing about her action of lodging complaint.

The abuse began after she tweeted on Monday that, "AK should clean the Kachhra (Sandeep Kumar etc) within his own filthy ranks before attempting to clean Delhi. Lewd allegations will not help!"
