Fully cooperated with Gachibowli police, and gave detailed statement: Smita Sabharwal
Hyderabad: Senior IAS officer, Smita Sabharwal, who got a notice from the Cyberabad police a few days ago for reposting a tweet on Kacha Gachibowli issue, said that she had fully cooperated with Gachibowli police authorities, and given her detailed statement on Saturday as a law abiding citizen under BNSS Act.
In a tweet posted on Saturday, she said, “The post was reshared by 2000 individuals on this platform. I sought clarification on whether the same action is initiated for all! If not, this raises concern about selective targeting, that in turn compromises the #principles of #natural justice and equality before the Law.”
