West Bengal Police filed a criminal case against a person for posting the photograph of a minor girl, flouting the Supreme Court guidelines, and trying to foment communal tension.
A day after the Supreme Court held that the Central government had powers to extend the tenure of the Delhi chief secretary Naresh Kumar, former Union minister and Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal on Thursday said that’s all the ruling dispensation wanted to appoint officers to make Delhi government days uncomfortable.
Notably, Kumar, who had earlier served as the chief secretary of Arunachal Pradesh, was due to retire on November 30.
