An FIR has been lodged against unidentified people on a complaint by Union Minister Smriti Irani’s aide who said that her photograph was used by a real estate developer in an advertisement without her consent.

Irani’s private secretary Vijay Gupta had written to SP Khyati Garg complaining that a local paper had published an advertisement by Sai Green City, Jagdishpur, in which photographs, names and designations of some eminent people, including Irani, were used to sell plots.

The SP said, “The letter in this connection said the name and picture of the minister has been used in the advertisement without her consent to attract buyers.”

The letter demands action and an FIR has been lodged at Jagdishpur police station against unidentified people and investigations begun.
