and this Gurgaon lad learnt it the hard way!!!!!Rahul Krishankumar Vaid, a Gurgaon resident, was recently arrested for posting obscene comments about Sonia Gandhi on the community i hate sonia gandhi.
Obviously, the banned comments and the profile of the person has been deleted.
Mr Vaid was charged under section 292 of Indian Penal Code & section 67 of the Information Technology. He could be sentenced for 5 years in prison and fined 1 lakh rupees.
It is actually kind of funny that an arrest took place while communities like I hate Aishwarya rai, I hate Himesh Reshamiya etc. are filled with remarks which go way beyond just obscene.
According to DCP Rajan Bhagat, PRO Delhi Police, definition of 'obscenity' is well defined in the law books and the accused can be punished only if people come forward and complain.
And just for the record, besides posting inappropriate comments hacking into another person's account and snooping into one can also end you up in prison.
I don't think i am the right person to pass a judgment, but how fair is it to have such laws which suppresses the freedom of expression in a country like India where freedom of speech and expression is a fundamental right? Any reactions or comments are welcome..........
