Google on Monday revealed that it had complied with Indian legal process when it gave police information about a user of its Orkut social networking site. With the IP (Internet Protocol) address of a person who had allegedly posted vulgar content about Sonia Gandhi, one of India’s top political leaders, on Orkut, police in Pune were able to arrest an IT professional from Gurgaon near Delhi, called Rahul Krishnakumar Vaid, according to media reports from the Western Indian city.
Vaid has been charged under Section 67 of the country’s Information Technology Act 2000, which relates to publication of obscene information in electronic content.
Pune’s assistant commissioner of police Netaji Shinde confirmed in a telephone interview on Monday that Vaid had been arrested. However, he did not disclose the nature of the derogatory information posted on Orkut, saying only that it had already been removed from the site.
