Obscene Orkut Post Lands Youth in Prison

This news also demonstrate how power is misused by political structure in my developing country INDIA.

An obscene message about Congress party chief Sonia Gandhi on Orkut has landed a Gurgaon youth in prison. The message was allegedly posted on a community called "I hate Sonia Gandhi."

The probe began when a Pune Congress activist saw the message and notified the authorities, who in turn asked Google to provide them with the IP address of the person who posted the message. On receiving this information from Google the police found the 'perpetrator' - 22-year-old Rahul Krishnakumar Vaid.

Vaid worked for PC Solutions, an IT company in Gurgaon and was arrested from his home. He has been charged under Section 67 of the Information Technology Act 2000 and remanded to custody till the 21st of May.


I Feel like deleting my orkut account after reading such news ... and I wonder why media is all so quiet about stopping a person from exercising his freedom of speech, the right provided to all of us by Constitution of India.

I even wonder , how come google disclosed the ip address of the person...
what do u think guys ...??
