Lakshmana was jailed for 50 days after he was accused of a cyber
crime (TOI Photo)
A Bangalore-based software engineer, Lakshmana Kailash K, who was
wrongly jailed for 50 days last year by the Pune police cyber cell,
has demanded Rs 20 crore in damages and slapped a legal notice on
telecom giant Bharti Airtel, principal secretary (Home) Maharashtra
government and assistant commissioner of police (financial & cyber
crime unit), Pune police.
Lakshmana had been falsely accused of an internet crime - posting
unseemly pictures of Chattrapati Shivaji on the web - and was
arrested based on the internet protocol address provided by his
internet service provider, Bharti. As it turned out, the IP address
was not his.
But by the time the police confirmed this and acted on it, he had
already spent 50 harrowing days at the Yerwada Jail with hardened
criminals, had tasted lathi beatings and was made to use one bowl to
both eat and for the toilet.
Lakshmana's nightmare, first reported in TOI on Nov 3, 2007, sparked
condemnation on the web with internet communities posting their
outrage. The techie's 10-page legal notice, a copy of which has been
sent to the NHRC, vents anger at the way in which the police and
judicial system made nonsense of his rights and highlights the
degrading conditions within the jail
