A father of a female TV presenter had lodged a complaint with the Children and Women’s Bureau alleging that his daughter’s Facebook profile had been copied and distortedly published on another website causing damage to her reputation.

The distorted profile reportedly includ her phone number and other defamatory information. 

Submitting a report in Court, the Children and Women’s Bureau sought a Court order to take action against the suspect by obtaining a report from the Police Computer Division. The Magistrate however maintained that police should record a statement from the aggrieved TV presenter prior to conducting further investigations. (LS)
