Two girls arrested for anti-Thackeray Facebook post

Police on Sunday arrested a 21-year-old girl for questioning the total shutdown in the city for Bal Thackeray's funeral on her Facebook account. Another girl who 'liked' the comment was also arrested.

The duo were booked under Section 295 (a) of the IPC (for hurting religious sentiments ) and Section 64 (a) of the Information Technology Act, 2000. Though the girl withdrew her comment and apologized, a mob of some 2,000 Shiv Sena workers attacked and ransacked her uncle's orthopaedic clinic at Palghar, north of Mumbai.

The original post stated "people like Thackeray are born and die daily and one should not observe a 'bandh' for that"

I'm afraid to comment for this! :lol:

OMG.!!

Fb is banned in every office .. But police station is left ?

The girl deleted the post as she could see a peck of the following iceberg, only to realize it was too little, too late.

Wonder if her post was shared with the public or just with her 'friends'. If it's the latter, I pity her.

Some time i started thinking that iam living in a country ruled by some dictator.

When did India took the right to speak our feelings in public ??

Where has the Freedom of Speech gone now??

I heard that some guy was arrested due to his offensive post against chidumbudum's son on twitter as well.

This article has the complete message posted by that girl :
The Hindu : States / Other States : 'Mumbai shuts down due to fear, not respect'

“With all respect, every day, thousands of people die, but still the world moves on. Just due to one politician died a natural death, everyone just goes bonkers. They should know, we are resilient by force, not by choice. When was the last time, did anyone showed some respect or even a two-minute silence for Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Azad, Sukhdev or any of the people because of whom we are free-living Indians? Respect is earned, given, and definitely not forced. Today, Mumbai shuts down due to fear, not due to respect.”

Which is actually true.

Yes. But that guy din't apologise for what he tweeted. Moreover, lots of ppl supported him.
The only problem in the girl's post is its Facebook. If she could've posted that in twitter, she would've atleast got supporters.

Does freedom of speech involves talking trash/hurting feelings of a particular community?if yes then i could talk sh!t about anybody.

Well At least they shouldn't have arrested the other girl who liked the comment. !!! Doesn't makes sense.

TADA of Internet

Nanducob said:

arrest is uncalled for.

But this is at the extreme.
I think, its the political pressure of Sainks to the Police Dept., that made the arrest.

This is ridiculous. She didn't even wrote any offensive thing in that post. All the things she wrote were true and presented quite humbly. India is now becoming Egypt and Irak.

This is india.....

The Shiv Sena's Thane rural chief has defended the police action of arresting two girls for a Facebook post on late Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray. He has also said any comments against Bal Thackeray will not be tolerated. "Balasaheb Thackeray is our God. We will not tolerate any offensive comments against him. No Shiv Sainik and no Marathi Manoos will remain silent. The police knows who was behind the Facebook comment. The arrest is justified," Rural District Head, Shiv Sena, Thane, Prabhakar Raul, said.

Activist-turned-politician Arvind Kejriwal tweeted, "Police officers who arrested the two girls in Mumbai shud be immediately dismissed. That's minimum that the govt ought to do.(sic)" Activist Kiran Bedi also said, "The complaint was wrong, Magistrate was wrong, the police were equally wrong."

Earlier on Monday, Press Council of India chief and former Supreme Court judge Justice Markandey Katju wrote to Maharashtra Chief Minister Chavan demanding action against the policemen. In his letter, he called the arrest absurd, wrongful and a criminal act.

He said, "We are living in a democracy, not a fascist dictatorship. I request you to immediately order the suspension, arrest, chargesheeting and criminal prosecution of the police personnel (however high they may be) who ordered as well as implemented the arrest of that woman."

At least, they are getting SUPPORTs now!!

Hurt feelings? Its just expressing one's views. BTW Shiv Sainiks did attack her uncle's clinic, proof that they're violent all the time. (yea, arrest me for this

)
Saw on TV Kapil Sibbal is also supporting them. Wasn't he the one who wanted FB to be censored? The world is full of ironies!

^come to Maharashtra then talk ;-)

^Warned Like a Boss !!

CommanderShawnzer said:

Those girls are from Mumbai, and that's why they're arrested.
Thats where the problem lies.

Whatif the girl posted that comment from say, UK or US and her entire family is over there?
In my guess, a couple of warnings & none would've happened!!

R

So there are 2 problems now.

1) Kapil Sibal wanting to control the Internet in India
2) Indian IT laws are so fragile; open for abuse / various interpretations and what not. And it's Kapil Sibal who has to work on this... -.-

CommanderShawnzer said:
^come to Maharashtra then talk

yea? I have a lot of mumbai friends on my facebook and a LOT of them have openly (public posts) expressed their views AGAINST these 2 girls-case, and some, on thackeray.
Sometimes I feel happy to have such people. Who aren't trapped by dogma.

Anyway, dude, what I meant was - there are some people who are brave enough to express their views and live in Mumbai. That's all

Very sad and upsetting news indeed. Are we living in Afghanistan? Indian IT laws need to be abolished. You post a cartoon and you go to jail. Post the same on news paper or TV, nobody will dare to arrest you.

Blame 66A

and the lol thing is that it was a copy-paste post XD

So much for a copy paste girl eh......

And there've been several arrests before too.. but this one was over-hyped by media.

The Same Journalists who've been wanting strong IT Laws and want many tweeples behind the bars for criticizing & exposing their corrupt practices are showing hypocritical outrage over this incident. For incidence, Barkha Dutt

Recently Karthi PC (Son of P. Chidambaram) got a person arrested for tweeting "Got Reports that Karthi has amassed more wealth than Vadra".

Arresting was totally uncalled for. And arresting for like is even more retarded.

Nanducob said:

Your post hurts my "feelings". Go to the nearest police station and surrender. :lol:

Seriously wtf? Your feeling are hurt? Go block that FB/Twatter user (it's a retarded platform anyway). Or report them. And there was nothing to be "hurt about" in this incident in anycase.

Could understand if posts are inflammatory, racist, xenophobic, etc. But wow. And as far as hurt comments is concerned, Shiv Sena netas proclaiming their late leader as "God" can also be potentially termed as "offensive" to hardcore followers of the Abrahmic faiths. How about arresting them, they like have potentially "hurt" millions of Indians, a number lot more than Shiv Sena sympathetizers. :lol:

India could be a lot better without these bigoted vandals, they are no more than terrorist organisations in my opinion. (INB4ARRESTED)

Nope. But this IMHO is a case of speaking out a plain opinion and being punished for it.
If innocuous differences of opinion like this are curbed, then the day is not far when somebody would be arrested just for refusing to believe in god or or follow a religion or something similarly nonsensical.

For not attending someone's call too, maybe. :lol:

the arrest was stupid, people's reaction was about right... what do you expect.. LOL.. angry ppl, disheartened ppl and finally mainacs ..

however the girl is massivly retarted.. first she should not make dumb comments..
then second she should not insult a person that just died.. i mean WTF.. seriously ????? have some respect..

Did you show respect to terrorists involved in Mumbai attacks? Did you refrained from insulting just because they are dead?

Note to sainiks: Not comparing Mr. Bal Thakrey to terrorists at all, just saying insulting a dead man is no crime.

What dumb comment? What insult? Just because a person died, you can't criticize the person? Did you show respect to Osama Bin Laden when he died? Trust me he had lot more supporters than the late Shiv Sena leader.

Show me what's exactly "retarded" they did. Nothing what I've read seems retarded. Your post is though.

im not a shivsena supporter but it seems like you dont know what 'hurt' means.Some people like mr thackrey,others dont.And there is no excuse for posting these kind of comments when that person is already dead and the whole supporters are mourning.Atleast show some respect to the dead.

So when he died,that candy assed ***** opened her **** mouth and told the whole world that people like him have to die dialy.is that what we say when someone dies?--and some people actually supports her..And when they asked for an apology,later,she denied.what kind of behaviour is that?
Though,i condemn the violence and happenings to her friend,clinic etc ...oh and her...

She SHOUL'VE meant "there are so many people (including the greatest of greatest) who were born and die daily, why one should observe a nation-wide bandh".. We don't know whether the bandh is called really "to show support to their late leader" or "the fear of locals, who thought they will get into trouble by SS's people when their stores are open"; The words here played the twist.

I am not an Osama supporter and some people like Osama and most (sane) don't. In your vein there is no excuse for posting "those kind of posts" to Osama. :lol:

People like him die daily. I will die one day too, so will you. But the whole infrastructure doesn't come to halt. Like it or not, we have our daily lives. He is dead, may be rest in peace, but the whole "bandh" is pointless. Even if the person is a "Gandhi".
And mind your language, infracted.

Of course she will deny, the Shiv Sena terrorists attacked her relative's hospital. We all care for our own safety. You would have done the same.

like Mr Thackrey blowed the twin towers with the american airlines..whoa

Mate you're thick. Where did I compare them? (see Nipun). Only point being "respecting who is dead" and "amount of supporters". That's a joke.

But i guess he wasnt half? bad as laden and doesnt deserved that kind of comments.

For the love of god, I am not calling him even "bad", god forbid as bad as Bin Laden. And no I am neither comparing him to Gandhi.

*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analogy

Everyone has the right to criticize anyone (dead, alive, whatever). As long as it's not racist/xenophobic, defamatory or discriminatory. It's a pity Free Speech in India is a myth.

In Election times, both ruling & opposing party leaders criticize each other.
Where the heck was "Freedom of Speech" on that times!!

Okay.

Okay.

In simple, If you're rich and blaming someone - all will watch and none will do nothing legally.
But on the vice versa, you will be torn by every possible legal actions.

But I guess she got what she asked for

And you get what you asked for. Another Infraction for being a retard.

+1. Add power to that. Shiv Sainiks have said far more offensive stuff (not that this FB post was even offensive) about Indian Muslims and no one touched a hair in their body.

Sibal is getting wise.

"I am deeply saddened (by the arrest of the two girls). It is just their point of view and enforcement of these laws are not to ban people from expressing their views," he told Karan Thapar on a CNN-IBN television show tonight.

In that vein, a lot of religious leaders deserve to be arrested more than this girl.

Sorry mate but your post was retarded. Perhaps shouldn't have used that word but frankly your post was disgusting. To make an analogy, NEWS: "A person getting death sentence for changing from his religion", and I say "He got what he asked for".

Guys Step Over it.
Let the OLD man RIP.

And no point in arguing.It will just turn into another heated argument.

@liverpoolfan
Dont want to waste your precious time,but i didnt called you anything,but just because youre a mod,can you call me a retard?isnt that inappopriate language?i understand i used foul language and im sorry for that.just wanted to know how u justify yourselves by calling me a 'retard'?

Already did.

LOL, I knew it, you guys would come up with terrorist argument.. LOL.. coz its so obvious.. i was expecting something better...
the arrest, the unrest is all fine..

now my discussion, is the girl stupid ? retarded ?
yes its still stupid to insult the corrupt guy... wrong time.. and have you read her comments.. its so fckuing offending.. I read it as all thackery .. can be read that way also...
conclusion, dumb girl.... got very unlucky..

I think the law is correct but it needs a change in implementation. See we speak/write everyday and we also have freedom of speech. IMO No arrest should be made unless charges are proved in court.

and she is not criticizing .. its a huge insult..
are you so dumb ? can't you tell the difference ?

i am not saying arrest her and jail and sh1t, this went too far btw..
and who the f leaked this out of her personal FB ? some dumb idiot.. there again..

There is no "terrorist" argument. Read up.

This post quotes that FB post in question.

What's with the LIKE'd GIRL? She din't posted/criticized anything or said badly?

Why she was arrested then?
See, that's where the POWER lies.

Fear is everywhere I can see. I have been reading all these comments and everyone is somehow try to avoid someones came or some party's names, or put any direct comment. Everyone is trying to justify their comments here to generalize their views.

I think we everybody should change our profile name to Anonymous 1, Anonymous 2 and so on (mods will you allow it ?? Think Digit is based in Mumbai right ?)... so that we can express our views more clearly.

That's the problem with our rules.
You can be arrested for what you did/what you gonna do/what you think of/whatever someone wants you to arrest for.

It's just like adding "Disclaimers" to anything, though you know what you're doing!

That was the biased rephrase from the policeman.

Here is the original one:

“With all respect, every day, thousands of people die, but still the world moves on,” read the message posted by 21-year old Shaheen Dhada and ‘liked’ by 20-year old Renu Srinivasan from Palghar in the neighbouring Thane district, her lawyer Sudheer Gupta told The Hindu. The post continued: “Just due to one politician died a natural death, everyone just goes bonkers. They should know, we are resilient by force, not by choice. When was the last time, did anyone showed some respect or even a two-minute silence for Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Azad, Sukhdev or any of the people because of whom we are free-living Indians? Respect is earned, given, and definitely not forced. Today, Mumbai shuts down due to fear, not due to respect.”

Internet is a place where billions of people post billions of comments everywhere and a major share of them are offensive, hateful, insulting. forget about arresting, govt cant even keep the count of such comments. facebook has a billion users, who cares what bs every tom dick n harry writes. there are probably many more blogs, forums, discussion boards, video sites, news websites etc where a lot more people comment.

Govt only made it worse, after arresting the girls, people from entire globe have started posting hateful comments about Bal Thackery. if some teenage hacker got angry about this , he would probably make it worse. the organization may be embarrassed to visit internet again.

Government official websites are often defaced with hate & derogatory messages by hacker groups from rival countries, since this specific issue is related to religious sentiments on internet, it can invite lot of unwanted attention which can possibly result in more much hatred shown in form of defacement.

nobody is calling you a noob.

and what can hackers do? take down webpages of stupid sites? expose the wrongdoings of criminals? yes, let them do it.
