Overview

• The Delhi Police Special Cell requested corroboration from CPI(M) MP John Brittas last week, with ACP Dharmender Kumar seeking evidence by phone.
• Brittas responded with screenshots, web links and press reports sent to DCP Manishi Chandra to support his May 12 complaint.
• The materials relate to alleged online abuse targeting Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, his family and bereaved relatives of Pahalgam victims including Himanshi Narwal and Arathi.
• Brittas argues the records are admissible under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam and that BNSS Section 173 obliges police to record information from any person, with the Zero FIR doctrine addressing jurisdiction.
• He urges swift preservation of social‑media evidence and demands FIR registration and a digital forensic probe, while police have not confirmed any such steps.
