Her tweets drew sharp criticism including threat to life and rape warnings following which she sought help from the External Affairs Minister. After her plea, the Chief Minister's Office intervened and a senior police officer met her.
"We are in the process of obtaining some IP addresses and are writing to Twitter seeking information about certain the handles. Since their server is located out of the country, it will take some time for us to reach to the users who abused her," DCP Kunwar Rastradeep said yesterday.
