New Delhi [India], Sep 1 (ANI): The Peace and Harmony Committee of Delhi Assembly headed by Raghav Chadha has, prima facie, found Facebook "complicit" in northeast Delhi violence and decided to summon officials of the social media giant in order to examine them on "oath and determine on their culpability".
