HOW IT WORKS

Report

Submit a post URL, screenshots, and a short description — on the portal or by messaging us.

Review

The Social Media Wing verifies the evidence; the Legal team steps in when a case warrants it.

Track

Follow every status update on a clear timeline, from first review to closure.

Why We Exist

False claims, doctored images, and coordinated misinformation spread faster than any correction can follow. A single post can damage a reputation built over decades, and most people have no practical way to get it taken down.

We give citizens a single place to report that content, and we do the follow-up — gathering evidence, filing platform takedown requests, and escalating to legal action where it is warranted.

What We Handle

We act on

  • Defamatory or false claims about the party, its leadership, or its members.
  • Manipulated images, deepfakes, and doctored videos passed off as genuine.
  • Impersonation accounts and coordinated misinformation campaigns.
  • Abusive or threatening content directed at party workers.

We do not act on

  • Lawful criticism, satire, opinion, and legitimate political commentary.
  • Personal disputes unconnected to the party.
This is not an emergency service. If you are in danger or a crime is in progress, contact the police first. This portal does not replace an FIR or a filing on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal.

Who Reviews Your Complaint

  • Social Media Wing — verifies the reported content, preserves evidence, and files takedown requests with the platform.
  • Legal team — assesses cases that need formal action and drafts the notices that follow.
  • Assigned advocates — take a referred matter forward, seeing only the documents needed for that case.

Automated tools help summarise and prioritise incoming reports, but every decision is made by a person.

Our Commitments

  • Filing a complaint is free, and we never ask for payment.
  • We collect the least information we can and never sell it.
  • Access to a complaint is limited to the team handling it.
  • You can ask us to delete your data at any time — see our Data Deletion Instructions.

The full detail is in our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.
