A Complaint was filed by BJP Delhi Media Head and Spokesperson Naveen Kumar Jindal against Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi.
In the complaint, Jindal accused Gandhi of revealing the identity of 9-year-old minor who was a victim of gang-rape and was murdered in Delhi Cantt Area.

Advocate Neeraj, who documented the complaint in the interest of BJP leader Naveen Kumar Jindal, claimed that Rahul Gandhi wilfully, purposefully, and intentionally revealed the Identity of a Minor through his web-based media account Twitter handle.
“The accused person shared a picture with the family of a rape victim Ms.XXXXX, a minor child thereby mentioning that they are her parents. The picture is clearly visible and on the basis of this picture it is very much clear to identify the family and dwelling details of the rape victim which amounts to disclosing the identity of rape victim,” read the complaint.
The complainant also requested the Court to coordinate the official concerning the Crime Branch of Delhi Police to file a FIR under important provision of law and examine the matter.
It was also requested to book Gandhi under Sec. 74 of Juvenile Justice Act (Prohibition on disclosure of identity of children), Sec. 23 of POCSO Act (Procedure for media) and Sec. 228A of Indian Penal Code (Disclosure of identity of the victim of certain offences etc).
