As per the complaint, the minister came to know about the fake profile on the social networking site through an acquaintance. "Upon establishing Facebook contact, the person offers various commercial services at a price.
The minister has taken strong exception to this criminal activity by some unscrupulous element and has desired that the matter be investigated on priority and the responsible person be brought to justice," the complaint said.
"We have registered an FIR on October 22 in this regard. We are investigating the case," said a senior police officer.
