The accusations stem from a complaint by an Aam Aadmi Party leader who criticized Khaira's social media posts targeting the woman on platform X. Khaira has dismissed the FIR as an attempt to silence him and questioned why the police notice to X did not include the FIR number or the specific police station where the case was registered.",
