“9. In the present case, Ms. Pooja, the sister of complainant no. 1, seems to have created a Facebook account in her mother's name by using her mother's phone number . She has fraudulently and dishonestly made use of the password or any other unique identification feature of her mother, to create a Facebook Account.
