Thane: Police in Palghar Wednesday questioned a young man for allegedly posting on
Facebook objectionable matter against MNS chief Raj Thackeray,
official sources said.
However, a police official from Palghar, declining to be
identified, said the "youth had neither been detained nor
arrested, but was merely being questioned" and no offence has yet
been registered in the matter.
Identified as an 18-year-old meat shop assistant, Sunil
Vishwakarma was picked up Wednesday for quizzing by police after
some Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) activists complained of
objectionable matter allegedly posted under his name on networking
site Facebook.
According to initial investigations, it was found that Vishwakarma
was unable to operate Facebook and police suspected someone might
have created his fake profile, pointing to hacking.
The official said the matter was beyond the purview of the Palghar
police and would be transferred to the Thane police's cyber cell
for probe and action.
With the recent Facebook controversy involving two Palghar girls
-- Shaheen Dadha and Renu Srinivasan -- still fresh in the minds
of the police, they are dealing with the matter with extra
caution.
Vishwakarma "has been kept in the police station to protect him
from possible attacks" as police probed the issue, the official
said.
Meanwhile, Palghar, around 100 km from here, and its surroundings
observed a shutdown following a call by the Shiv Sena.
The shutdown was in protest against the departmental inquiry
against and suspension of superintendent of police (Thane rural)
Ravindra Sengaonkar and Palghar police chief senior inspector
Shrikant Pingle in the Dadha-Srinivasan Facebook case.
With a population of around 200,000, Palghar is a sprawling
semi-industrialised and tribal dominated, eco-sensitive region in
north-west part of Thane district, which is soon to be carved out
as an independent district.
