A Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS) student of Thane was arrested on Thursday for creating a classmate?s profile and uploading her picture with offensive messages on an online community site without her permission. The cyber cell of the Thane police got into the act following a complaint by a girl that someone had created her profile on Orkut.com with her picture and posted lewd messages. Within 48 hours the culprit was nabbed. Orkut.com is an online community that connects people through a network of friends. It is a popular site with collegians who register as members, create their profiles and upload their pictures. But it can be misused, as a Thane student found out to her utter disbelief. When Sushma Sharma (name changed on request) logged on to Orkut.com, she received a scrap (Orkut comment) saying ?Hi? from a profile that seemed her own. This made her wonder since she never wrote it in her own scrapbook. Out of curiousity she clicked on the profile, and to her utter dismay she was flooded with vulgar comments and cheap descriptions about her. The profile also had her photograph and cellphone number. After that she started getting vulgar phone calls and her friends also informed her about offensive messages put up on her profile. A harassed Sushma and her parents complained to the Vartak Nagar police station, who forwarded the investigation to the Thane Cyber Cell (TCC)." Police Inspector Shekhar Tore of TCC who investigated the matter said, ?The orkut server is located in Sweden and therefore it was difficult for us to get information about the person who created the profile. We traced the fake yahoo email ID created on Sushma?s name and then got information about its log-in details. The IP address details of this yahoo account led to Sumer Castle apartment in Thane?s Kolbad area and another cyber caf? nearby. Abhishek, 19, a BMS student, first denied committing any such crime but soon confessed. ?I don?t understand what happened to me. I just did it,? said Abhishek, who knew Sushama as her classmate in junior college. He has been booked under IPC 469 (publicising offensive message) and Section 67 of IT Act, 2000. He can be punished with up to five years in jail.
