The BJP on Monday sought strict action against the news portal that claimed that party leader Ram Madhav was caught red-handed by separatist NSCN with two Naga women in a hotel room in Nagaland even as the portal vanished.

"We are talking up with such cases very seriously and what is more suspicious is that the news portal which carried the story has completely vanished," Bharatiya Janata Party national spokesperson Nalin Kolhi told journalists here.

He said that the party has sought for appropriate action against those responsible for the mischief under various sections of the law and the Information Technology Act.

Senior BJP leader Rajiv Pratap Rudy, who was also present at news conference said: "It is a fictitious report intended to tarnish the image of Ram Madhav. Fake news cannot be tolerated. Suspiciously, the news portal has vanished but we are following up with the case aggressively."
