BJP MP Rajiv Pratap Rudy has become a fresh victim of cyber crime with an unidentified person creating his fake profile on a social networking site and posting comments on controversial issues like the IPL.

Rudy's personal assistant filed a complaint with Delhi Police yesterday after the MP found that a fake profile was created on 'Facebook' by an unknown person, police sources said.

Following the complaint, Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police's Crime Branch registered a case under relevant sections of Information Technology Act and for impersonation against unknown person.

Delhi Police spokesperson Rajan Bhagat said the case has been registered and the EOW was investigating the matter.

"We are trying to locate and identify the impersonator," he said.

Rudy told PTI, "I am taking it very seriously.

Somebody has created an entire facebook account in my name. I called up the Police Commissioner (Y S Dadwal) yesterday and told him that I feel very hassled with all this."

A message in the fake account posted by Anil Khosla, an associate of Rudy, said that it was not the BJP leader's account and "some fraud was operating it and misusing it. All views expressed in are not his. He has already initiated action and asked me to inform you all."

One of the messages posted by the "imposter" read, "Sharad Pawar (only God can remove him), Lalit (Modi) is purely brilliant. Tell me one business which had brought economic bulge opened like this."

Another post by the "imposter" read, "whats your take on IPL imbroglio? I think it's high time, cricket gets seen as a sport and not as an entertainment. The difference is that when a sport gets packaged as an entertainment, big money, tainted money, glamour..."

Some BJP and ABVP activists have also posted greetings to Rudy thinking that this is his Facebook account. People have also congratulated him for becoming a co-pilot with a private airline.

Even a 1995-batch IAS officer as also BJP National Secretary Vani Tripati have posted comments in the account not knowing that it was a fake profile. Tripati was greeting him on the occasion of his birthday last month.

The Facebook account, which was activated some months back, also has 10 photos uploaded.
