The Delhi Police on Thursday registered a police complaint against a man who openly threatened to eliminate four eminent women and a noted journalist, all of whom he termed "anti-national", a senior police officer said.
The complaint was registered following a complaint from journalist Sagarika Ghose whose name appears in the list of women which include authors Shobha De and Arundhati Roy, and activists Kavitha Krishnan and Shehla Rashid.
"We have registered an FIR after receiving a complaint from Sagarika Ghose under the Information Technology (IT) Act. She, in her complaint, stated that she saw a open threat posts from a man who had two different accounts on the names of 'Vikram Aditya Rana and Vikramjb Rana' at social networking site Facebook. He is a native of Shillong," Deputy Commissioner of Police Anyesh Roy told IANS.
"She said that Rana on Tuesday posted and shared his posts openly on his Facebook account, calling her and four other women activists including journalists as anti-nationals who masquerade as journalists and activists," Mr Roy said.
"We received some screen shots copies along with the complaint by Ghose and have asked Facebook officials about the details of Rana, related to his accounts and email ids to track him. His IP address is being traced," the officer added.
On the day, noted Kannada woman journalist Gauri Lankesh was gunned down by unknown attackers outside her residence in Bengaluru, Rana had written a vituperative post on his Facebook wall, praising her killers, he said. ".... Serves her & her kind right for d damages these so called journos have caused our nation.Sagarkia Ghose & Arundhati Roy ,Kavitha Krishnan ,Shiela Rashid ,Umar Khalid ,Kanhaiyya should be at d top of d list now," Rana had posted, said Mr Roy.
In another post, he wrote: 'Let d shooting of #GauriLankesh serve as example to those antinationals who masquerade as journalists & activists. I hope this is not d last in a should be episode of serial assassinations of all anti nationals . Shobha De ;Arundhati Roy ;Sagarika Ghose ;Kavitha Krishnan ;Shiela Rashid etc at d end of a list that should start with antinational & treacherous politicians . A hit list be prepared & eliminate all those on d list .At last a ray of hope."
