The Madras High Court on Tuesday stayed the investigation being conducted by the Tiruchi cyber crime police against former Director General of Police (DGP) R. Natraj, 72, for reportedly sharing derogatory content on social media.
Justice G. Jayachandran granted the interim stay after being prima facie satisfied that a malicious complaint had been lodged with an ulterior motive by advocate A. Sheela of Tiruchi. The judge also directed the police to act against those who had abused the retired DGP on social media.
Wondering why the police had not acted against those who had used filthy language against Mr. Natraj despite such a fact having come to light as part of the investigation into the lawyer’s complaint, the judge directed the police to report about the action taken against them by January 19, 2024.
