Justice eludes Air India staff booked under IT Act


Eight months after two Air India employees, K.V. Jagannath Rao and Mayank Sharma, were arrested under section 66A of the Information Technology (IT) Act and imprisoned for 12 days, they are yet to get justice.
The two have been running from pillar to post seeking action against the errant policemen and the complainant who allegedly registered a complaint against them “maliciously”.
“We have written more than 30 letters to various senior police officers pointing out the illegality of the police action against us. Niket Kaushik (Additional Commissioner of Police) promised us two months ago that departmental action will be taken against the policemen responsible for illegalities. But no action has been taken till now. If the police have not erred, why have they not filed a charge sheet against us even eight months after the FIR (First Information Report) was registered?” asked Mr. Sharma.

·  Mayank Sharma and K.V. Jagannath Rao were booked for uploading lascivious and defamatory content against a local politician and for threatening him with death
·  The charges were prima facie slapped with a malafide intent and under political pressure to settle scores: Mr. Sharma
