All members used fake accounts, modulated voice: police
A day after an FIR was lodged in connection with a Clubhouse chat room, where purported derogatory remarks were made against Muslim women, preliminary investigation has revealed that all the suspects were operating fake accounts, said the police.
Efforts are under way to trace the locations of the chat room members and make arrests, the police said. A senior police officer, privy to the probe, said they have written to Clubhouse and Google, asking for information about the application and the chat rooms operating through it.
“We have written to Clubhouse, seeking information about the origin of the chat room in question and who were its organisers… we have also written to Google asking as to how they allowed the application to operate on their Play Store,” the officer said.
