Juvenile traced in Srinagar for sending fake police notices

The Delhi Police's Crime Branch has registered an FIR regarding fraudulent notices allegedly issued in their name, targeting the Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) and the Software Freedom Law Centre (SFLC). A juvenile has been traced to Srinagar in connection with this impersonation case. The FIR includes charges of impersonating a public servant and forgery under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Information Technology Act. Social media platform X informed the Delhi High Court that these notices were not genuine and had not acted on them. This development follows a recent court hearing where the digital rights organizations challenged the takedown requests. The case highlights concerns over impersonation and the integrity of communications from law enforcement.
