PANAJI

GPCC secretary Janardan Bhandari has filed a complaint before the Cyber Crime Cell of Goa police accusing former Panaji MLA and BJP leader Sidharth Kuncalienker of “creating and circulating” two fake messages involving him.  

“This deliberate message constitutes offences under sections 504 and 505 of Indian penal code as it amounts to intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace and mischief,” Bhandari claimed in his complaint.   

He said the fake messages were circulated on July 12 and July 13.   

Kuncoliekar, who is chairman of the EDC, meanwhile told The Goan that he is unaware of the complaint.   

When informed about the contents he said, “Let the police find out the truth.”   

The allegedly fake message that Bhandari claims were circulated in his name read: “Major fight between Congress office bearers in Panaji today. Congress senior leaders oppose payment of 2.5 lakhs to Sidhanath Buyao per month for party work. Senior Congress leaders term him as a plant of BJP in Congress. Likely to be removed as spokesperson informed Janardhan Bhandari.”  

The second message that Bhandari complained about states: “Senior Congress Leaders including Janardhan Bhandari writes to AICC President Rahul Gandhi regarding Sidhanath Buyao. Demand removal as spokesperson for alleged links with other political parties.”
