Summary
- The Uttaranchal High Court has quashed two FIRs against former MLA Suresh Rathore, stating that maligning a person's image to implicate them in a concluded murder case is a serious issue.
- The court found that the two FIRs did not disclose any cognizable offence, while the other two require further investigation due to prima facie cognizable offences.
- Rathore's wife allegedly uploaded videos on social media to politically implicate others in the Ankita Bhandari murder case, which had already resulted in convictions.
- The ruling emphasizes the need for proper investigation into potential political motives behind such actions and warns against using social media for defamation.
