In order to remove the obscene, immoral, and illegal content from the page and restore it, the counsels sought the court's direction, praying for a police probe in the matter.

The petitioner submitted that she is a leading Bhojpuri actress and also appearing in various television shows, and she was also awarded by Rashtriya Gaurav Award.

She started her Facebook account and page in 2012 and since and subsequently, it reached more than 40 lakh followers on the social media platform.

However, the page got hacked on the night of October 19 and she received an email from Facebook stating that she has been removed as the administrator of the Neha Shree Facebook page.

Immediately after receiving the mail, a complaint was raised with Facebook informing them about the hacking. However, she only received "auto-generated" and "pre-typed" messages while nothing was done to restore her access.

Even after 30 days of the hacking, the issue has not been resolved despite complaints in different offices of Facebook in the city.

Neha Shree has worked with some of the renowned names in the Bhojpuri film industry including Ravi Kishan, Arvind Akela Kallu among others. She has featured in movies such as Sikka (2015), Kajrali Nakhrali (2016), Hum Hain Wonder Boys and Action Raja. 

In 2018, Neha Shree was featured in Sugna 2 followed by a Bhojpuri drama titled Mohabbat Mith Lagela. It has been directed by Ranjan Sharma.
