An engineer from Mumbai , Mohammed Ali,was arrested for posting on Orcut the name and telephone number of ,Lisa Ferrera , his neighbour!
He described her as a commercial sex worker!!!!!!
Other Orkut members saw this profile and start calling her at all hours of the day asking for sex. This leads to a lot of harassment for the victim and also defames her in society.
Lisa was completely shocked when she saw it and said that"I am mentally harassed".
Then Lisa and her husband filed a complaint, Ali was arrested and has put under police custody.

It`s a kind of defamation; damaging the reputation of a woman in a popular social site such Orkut, As this site has many visitors and users the damages would be far-reaching, also it may cause family problem for her as she was married!!!!!
ReplyDeletedid she prove the statement to be false?!
ReplyDeleteCertainly she had to prove it, If not she couldn`t sue him since falseness of the statement is one the main issues for making an acceptable complaint.
