However twitter management are currently trying to track down this person, and hopefull this man is identified and punished quickly. Meanwhile more than one thousand criminal incidents on social media, including Twitter and Facebook, are being reported to police every day in India. Supreme Court has however made a verdict to struck down the 66A of Inofrmation Technology Act that had empowered police to arrest any person for posting an ‘objectionable’ text or liking any ‘objectionable’ post. But there are still different sections through which a people issuing threat, or texting any objectionable post can be booked. “There have been a number of successful prosecutions against people posting offensive and abusive messages, said a senior police officer.
He added: “There is a responsibility on police and internet providers to protect people online. Anyone who feels that they are being harassed on social media should report it to the police via the Cyber Cell so that we can investigate it fully.”
