[rti4empowerment] FIR registered against Facebook company and others in "i hate gandhi" group at police station Gomti Nagar

 


A criminal case crime No 72/2011 under section 153, 153 A(1)(a),  153 A(1)(b), 153 A(1)(c), 153-B, 290, 504, 505 (1), 505 (2),506 IPC and section 66 A Information Technology Act  2000 has been registered against Facebook Inc.(USA) and others at police station Gomti Nagar, District- Lucknow. The complainant is my husband Amitabh Thakur, an IPS officer of UP Cadre. 


The FIR says that Facebook social networking site is seen and shown all across the country through Internet. On this various groups are formed. One of these is "i hate gandhi". On this site, open abuses and dirty words are used against Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of our Nation. These dirty words and abuses are of such nature that they are wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot when riot is not committed (sec 153 IPC), promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of communities and other grounds etc. and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony (153A IPC), Imputations, assertions prejudicial to national-integration (sec 153 B IPC), public nuisance (290 IPC), Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace (sec 504 IPC), criminal intimidation (sec 506 IPC) and using Information Technology for these purposes (sec 66A IT Act). Thus the prayer by Amitabh Thakur says that all these words are such that they have been used to intentionally and deliberately provoke the above mentioned crimes.

Before getting the FIR registered, Thakur had communicated to each one of them individually to get the objectionable parts removed from the group site but it was blatantly and deliberately ignored by these members. Similarly, the Facebook did not take the required action to get the site blocked. Only after this, Thakur has now gone for getting the FIR registered.

The FIR says that the primary role in this case is that of Rahul Devgan , village Khauli, District- Patiala, Punjab while other persons involved include Gaurab Banerjee, Rohan Shiunde, Shikshit Kumar, Gadadhar Ghoshal, Deven Tandan, Vignesh NV etc. At the same time, Facebook Inc,  Headquartered at Pao Alto, California, USA has also been made an accused for having provided the requisite platform for dissemination of all these information, particularly when they had been requested by Amitabh Thakur some 20 days ago to get this site removed because of its hateful content. The investigation has been taken up by the Gomtinagar police station.
