'Sexual misconduct' charges levelled against BJP IT cell chief

Bharatiya Janata Party’s National Information and Technology Department in-charge Amit Malviya on Monday sought an “unconditional apology” from RSS member Santanu Sinha in connection with an “extremely offensive” post on Facebook.

- 

Malviya, through his advocate, sent a legal notice to Santanu Sinha on June 8 asking to take down the “false and derogatory” post and also tender an unconditional apology. “The nature of allegations are extremely offensive in as much as, they falsely allege sexual misconduct purportedly committed by my client. The same is fatally injurious to the dignity and reputation of my client, who, by virtue of his professional profile, is a public figure. Such malevolently malicious statements have been deliberately made to tarnish his reputation,” the notice read.

Malviya, through the notice, alleged ulterior motives and wrongful intent to malign and tarnish his image.
