FIR Filed Against Facebook Citing Group Encouraging Cow Slaughter
Complainant says group abusive towards both Hindu and Islamic beliefs, complaint registered under IT Act, 2000.
Facebook often gives us the most bizarre perspective of people's wild side. Most cases of online slander seem to stem from the social networking website. This time around, the service has drawn the ire of a Lucknow-based user, and a senior police officer at that.
The man in question is Amitabh Thakur, who filed an FIR against Facebook at the at Gomtinagar police station, complaining about a group which encourages cow slaughter. A report on NDTV.com suggests that the website is being booked under the Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000 for a FB group that went by the name of 'Aao mil kar kaaten Gaay' (Come together to butcher cows).
The complaint has been registered under famed Section 66 A of the IT Act. The report also adds that Thakur had already filed four similar FIRs but no action has been taken so far. The group, which is said to be abusive towards both Hindu and Islamic beliefs, seems to have been pulled off the social network for now.
