Mumbai, Nov.27 (ANI): The Bombay High Court has transferred the judge who sent two girls to judicial custody last week, and granted them bail on a bond of Rs 15,000 each last week.
The girls had been arrested for their Facebook posts, which questioned the need for a shutdown in Mumbai for the funeral of former Shive Sena chief Bal Thackeray.
First class judicial magistrate Ramchandra Bagade has been transferred to Jalgaon from Palghar with immediate effect.
An enquiry report on the arrest of two girls for their Facebook comments against the Mumbai shutdown called by Shiv Sena has indicted the policemen for initiating action and observed that the arrests could have been avoided.
The confidential report filed by Inspector General (Konkan Range) Sukhvindar Singh also mentions that sections applied in the case were not justified and also recommended departmental action against the concerned cops.
Meanwhile, Maharashtra Home minister R.R. Patil is expected to outline today the action by his government taken on the basis of the report.
The girls from Palghar, both aged 21, were arrested last Monday after one of them posted a Facebook status protesting the Mumbai shutdown after Bal Thackeray's death and the other one 'liked' it. The girls were later released on bail.
They were arrested under Section 295 (A) (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings or any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) and Section 505(2) (statements creating or promoting enmity, hatred or ill-will between classes) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the IT Act.
A clinic owned by one of the victim's uncle was also ransacked by a group of alleged Shiv Sena workers. Ten people were arrested for the attack, but released on a bail of Rs. 7,500 each as surety (ANI with inputs)
A rogue application is spreading via Facebook, claiming to offer easy invitations to Facebook's new rival in the social network market, Google+.
Many Facebook users have had messages like the following appear on their newsfeed:
Google+ - Get Invite
Unoffical Fan Page
Page: XX,XXX people like this.
If you visit the page, you are invited to allow a third-party application to access your Facebook account.
You should also exercise great caution about what third party apps you allow to access your Facebook records, especially when they are demanding the ability to post to your wall and grab personal information such as your date of birth and current location.
Nevertheless, if you are hungry to get a Google+ Invite or to find an easier way to encourage your Facebook friends to join you on Google+ then you might (unwisely) carry on regardless.
The next thing which happens is you are encouraged to "Like" the page. Remember, you haven't seen anything yet which impresses you at this point - so why are you recommending the page to your online friends?
Just in case the "Like" wasn't enough - you are now encouraged to invite as many of your friends as possible to also sign-up for the scheme.
Of course, if you do send a direct invitation to your friends to sign-up for the Google+ Invite application then they may very well believe that you have checked it out for yourself, and trust your invitation. A sneaky piece of social engineering by the folks behind this third party application.
What we end up with is many thousands of people who have given a third party application, written by persons unknown, complete access to their Facebook page. That means they can later use your Facebook account to post spam messages, distribute other money-making scams, steal your personal information, and post in your name.
