Delhi HC asks police to reply to MP Mahua Moitra's plea to quash FIR

The Delhi High Court on Friday asked the city police to respond to TMC Lok Sabha MP Mahua Moitra’s plea seeking quashing of an FIR against her over a “derogatory” social media remark on NCW chief Rekha Sharma.

Justice Neena Bansal Krishna issued a notice to the Delhi Police on the petition and asked it to file a status report within four weeks.

The high court listed the matter for arguments on the legality and validity of the FIR, as challenged in the petition, on November 6.
