Torpedoed In Bangalore

In the pre-dawn hours of August 31, eight policemen raided Lakshmana Kailash's residence in Bangalore and waved the Information Technology Act, 2000, in his sleepy face.

Get dressed, he was told, we are taking you to Pune jail for having defamed Shivaji. When  Lakshmana protested that he didn't know anyone called Shivaji, he was told they were talking about Chhatrapati Shivaji, an insulting picture of whom appeared on the networking site, Orkut, with a trail leading to the 26 year old technician's computer. En route, he learned  the image had triggered riots in which political parties forcibly closed cybercafes.  Kailash was released after 50 days behind bars when police located the uploader of the cartoon of the redoubtable Hindu warlord, who died in 1680.
