Baazee.com case : Making sense of nonsense
Till recently considered the safest country to do e-business, India is now in news for all wrong reasons. Arrest of baazee.com CEO Avnish Bajaj has again brought the myopic understanding of law by the law enforcing agencies in India.
The way Bajaj was arrested displayed the draconian approach of law enforcement agencies when the company had offered full cooperation in investigating as to how the MMS clip featuring two school students came up for sale at the portal.I feel extremely dismayed at the arrest of Avnish Bajaj.
Going by the logic put forward by Delhi Police, the CEO of the Telecom service provider whose MMS service was being used by the boy in question should also be arrested ! Arresting a CEO for an offence he has no connection with is highly questionable.
Besides, it is a well-established legal principle that unless a suspect is required for custodial interrogation or is likely to flee or tamper with evidence, bail should not be denied.

I Think this is where Education for men of the police force is needed.
Similar case occured to me sometimes ago, I was arrested for downloading virus on a machine(PC) at a cafe, funny enough, the police officers don't evenknow what a virus is, and that is in Nigeria ooo.
You are not alone, let's pray security outfits will starts educting their officers on IT
