Police Commissioner's Social Media Mishap

Imagine a situation where the Mumbai Police Commissioner shares a sensitive case file on Twitter, revealing crucial details about an ongoing investigation. The information is shared in the heat of the moment, and the Commissioner later deletes the tweet. However, screenshots have already been taken and are circulating on social media.

Section 188 of the IPC would likely be invoked, as the Commissioner has disobeyed a lawful order. The police force could also face contempt of court charges under Section 2(c) of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. But what about Section 197 of the CrPC, which deals with the punishment for wrongful confinement? Would the Commissioner's actions be considered an 'act done under a mistake of law', making them exempt from punishment under Section 79 of the IPC?
