According to the report, the Delhi police on Wednesday had written to the Clubhouse app and search engine Google, seeking details about the organiser of the alleged audio group chat in which “obscene comments were made against Muslim women”. Official sources had said that the police had also identified some members of the group audio chat, which included men and women from both communities, as part of the investigation.
Earlier this week, a video clip of the Clubhouse chat was shared on microblogging site, Twitter, in which participants were heard discussing Muslim women under the topic ‘Muslim Gals are more beautiful than Hindu Gals’.
