Doctor held for obscene e-mails

Times News Network

Bangalore: A woman received an obscene e-mail on November 19: “Hello Preeti (name changed) u r so beautiful, met u 1st time 3 days back, u r so sexy I don’t know whether u r married? Lovely eyes, lovely **, lovely **, u r sexy.”

She ignored the e-mail in disgust. However, the mails didn’t stop.

On November 21, she received another obscene e-mail. Though she was angry, she decided to ignore it again.

When the e-mails didn’t stop, she approached the cyber crime sleuths on November 23.

Once the complaint was lodged, the sleuths managed to track down the e-mails to raaj-sv@yahoo.co.in. They then hunted down the sender, who was surreptitiously sending these mails from a dingy e-mail parlour in J P Nagar.

The Cyber Crime sleuths registered a case against the sender, Dr Saravanan E. Initials investigations revealed that he sent five anonymous obscene e-mail messages from the cyber cafes to this woman.

Additional director general of police S Mahapatra said a case has been registered against Dr Saravanan E under Section 67 of Information Technology Act 2000.
