As Hasan Suroor put it: BJP trolls in mourning after the fabricated case against me dropped. |
First things first - immediately after getting cleared of pedophile charges, noted journalist Hasan Suroor has attacked BJP trolls, who had mercilessly targeted him, when he was charged.
After taking a break from Twitter for seven months, he tweeted twice on Wednesday. The first tweet was a link to a Hindustan Times report which said the case against him had been dropped.
In the tweet that followed, he went after the BJP trolls with an I am-back sort of message.
As he put it: BJP trolls in mourning after the fabricated case against me dropped.
British prosecutors dropped their case against Hasan Suroor on Tuesday saying there was “no evidence” to show that he had “sexual groomed” a minor as alleged a vigilante group.
The judge also said he had decided to give a “not guilty” verdict. He ruled that serious allegations were being pursued on the basis of a “telephone call” from an “unregulated” vigilante group.
Unknown TV allegedly befriended Hasan Suroor on Facebook posing as a 14-year-old girl. The "girl" reportedly brought in a sexual angle to their conversation, eliciting a favourable response from him.
Under British law it is a crime to initiate any conversation of sexual nature with minors.
