Functionaries of the Girls Islamic Organisation (GIO), the daughter organisation of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH), yesterday filed a defamation case against the city police for allegedly maligning its image by publishing a circular, falsely accusing the organisation of spreading jihad.

Seeking Rs 10 crore in damages, the organisation filed the case in the Bombay High Court against the Special Branch headed by Additional Commissioner of Police Naval Bajaj.
