The cybercrime wing police registered a case based on the complaint of the journalists association and slapped a case against the BJP member under IPC Sections 504 (intentional insult to provoke breach of the peace), 505 (1) (c) (with intent to incite, or which is likely to incite, any class or community of persons to commit any offence against any other class or community), and 509 (Word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman), and Section 4 of TN Prohibition of Women Harassment (Prevention) Act.
It all started when Shekher shared a derogatory Facebook post on women in media.
After huge criticism, he deleted the post and issued an apology.

While the agitations have been escalating everyday demanding the arrest of Shekher in the woman harassment case, a posse of police personnel deployed at Shekher’s house on Saturday evening created flutter in the political circle that Shekher may be apprehended.
