Cyber crime in Indore

Recently I was planning to do the research on cyber presence of Indore. However I never dreamt that the first piece of information will be a nasty cyber crime committed by student of prestigious institute of Indore.

I was totally left shocked in morning when my eye caught the following headline in today’s DB star (local edition of Dainik Bhaskar, indore). It was reported that students of the computer science

department of prestigious SGSITS (Shri Govindram Seksaria Institute of Technology and Science) had created a fake profile of their HoD professor Wasim Khan. It included a huge community of hundreds of students which even girls. Many objectionable comments were written on profile related to professor’s personal life. Even false allegations such as demand of sexual favors by the professor were reported to be present on the profile.

Such a heinous and cheap crime could never be expected from the students of institute whose alumni have earned name both in India and abroad. Also this is the same institute which has delivered maximum number of top B-School candidates including IIM. Probably these innocent devils don’t know the price they will have to pay for their crime. They may lose their academic career, be sent to prison for 5 years or even have to pay Rs. 10 lakhs in fine according to IT act of India. Already the cyber crime cell of Indore is working on the case.

Moreover the point which aches me as a tech-geek is the blunt use of technology here. Gone are the days when cyber crimes used to include intelligent cracking, Trojans and Worms furnished by a heavy amount of hot pursuit of genius criminals. Nearly all the cyber crimes done in India have been related to misuse of Orkut, emails or mms. No glamour of code visible. Anyhow, for all those who further plan to engage in such act of dumbness here are the links to the cyber act of India. Do go through them and be prepared for the consequences.
