Kolkata: Kolkata Police has summoned the IAS officer from Rajasthan, Sanjay Dixit, who had shared the fake notification on Eid holidays on Twitter.

The police summoned him on June 29 and he has been asked to turn up at the cyber cell of Kolkata Police by 11.30 am.

It may be recalled that a controversy had sparked after an IAS officer shared the same on a social networking site and it took place after the city police had clearly stated in a tweet that it was a " fake notification".

Police had stated that "a fake notification is doing the rounds on social media about Eid Holidays. It is false. Those who have masterminded this will be strictly dealt with as per law". Dixit had later deleted the tweet. He had uploaded the fake notification and stated in the same tweet: "Meanwhile, Islamic State of West Bangladesh declares the longest Eid holiday ever – a full 5 days of free salary and compulsory holiday for the faithful and infidel alike."
