Palghar (Maharashtra), March 24 (IANS) Mohammed Farooq Dhada, the father of Shaheen Dhada, whose Facebook post had created a nationwide stir in 2012, on Tuesday said the credit for the Supreme Court striking down Section 66A of IT Act "must go to my daughter".

Their innocuous social media action resulted in assault, illegal detention for 10 days and a subsequent compensated Rs.50,000 by the National Human Rights Commission through the Maharashtra government.
