After Misa push, FIR against Bihar CMO steno for uploading CM photo with Pocso survivor family
Patna SSP Kartikeya Kumar Sharma said the stenographer, identified as Sagar Kumar, has been charged with the case of uploading pictures of the Jamui victim in the X handle of the CM
A stenographer at Bihar's Chief Minister's Office (CMO) has been charged under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act after uploading a photograph of a Jamui harassment-molestation victim and her family on social media. The incident sparked a political controversy, with RJD lawmaker Misa Bharti alleging that her complaint to the police had not been registered.
SSP Kartikeya Kumar Sharma confirmed that Sagar Kumar, the stenographer, has been charged with the crime of uploading the photographs via CM Samrat Choudhary's X account. Bharti also filed a complaint under Section 23 of the Pocso Act and Section 74 of the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015, demanding that the Chief Minister's disclosure of the minor's identity be investigated.
