The Economic Offences Unit (EOU), which is the nodal unit for investigating cyber crimes, said in a statement that a complaint in this regard was received from R L Chongthu, the principal secretary to the Governor.

The accused, against whom an FIR has been lodged under relevant sections of the IPC, the Representation of People Act and the IT Act, had come up with the post on X a day ago.

RJD sources here were tight-lipped about the development even as the accused, who goes by the username ‘Laluwadi_Nitesh' on X, and describes himself as in-charge of the party's "IT cell", came out with a fresh post alleging that the FIR further "gives rise to doubts".
