    Mojo Story, seven other Twitter handles booked over 'fake news'
  • An FIR has been lodged against eight Twitter handles for allegedly propagating fake news in connection with the death of two Dalit girls in Unnao, last week, police said on Monday.

    The handles include news portal Mojo Story, led by senior journalist Barkha Dutt who termed the FIR a case of brazen "harassment and bullying," and expressed suspicion at police, clubbing them with politicians.

    Mojo Story's editor alleged that police refused to give a copy of the FIR without which one cannot appeal for judicial intervention.
