Tvm: A Blogger who has been spreading a hate campaign against the Nair community through his blog has been arrested by the Kerala Police on the basis of a complaint given by the NSS General Secretary P K Narayana Panicker.

37 years old K V Shine of Turavoor, near Chertala, who is working as an L D Clerk at the Technical School in Ernakulum was arrested today and produced at the First Class Judicial Magistrate’s Court in Changanaserry. He was later released on bail.

Shine had created the Vichitra Keralam blog (http://vichitrakerala.blogspot.com) under the pseudonym George Joseph on 14.01.2010 using the email id kunnaamya @ gmail.com. Several articles denigrating the Nair community especially the Nair women were posted on the blog. The posts were intended to create a negative public sentiment against the powerful Nair community in Kerala.

A case was registered in the Cyber Police Station following a preliminary investigation by the Hi Tech Cell of Kerala Police based on the complaint. The Cyber Police took Google's help to get the login details for the blog and and the culprit was tracked based on the IP and MAC Address. The computer with the hard disk and modem has been confiscated from his house.

The case was handled by a team lead by DySP J Sukumarapilla, DySP E S Bijumon, Hitech Cell AC Vinaykumaran Nair and CI VK Ajit Mohan.

Everyone has the right to express their views doesn't mean that any body can shout anything in public. In a modern society there is nothing like complete freedom of speech. In fact freedom of speech should be limited in situations like this. Any way the guy will be having a nice time now with the cops and he will have complete "freedom of speech" at the time of interrogation !
