Complaint filed against Twitter, radical Hindus for inciting riot in India

A formal complaint has been registered here with National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and Delhi Police against social networking site Twitter and some Hindu right wing leaders including Praveen Togadia and Subramanian Swamy for posting ‘offensive’ tweets, ‘endangering’ law and order in Uttar Pradesh.
Young law graduate and activist Shehzad Poonawalla on Tuesday filed a written complaint with the NHRC and Delhi Police citing a long list of such offensive tweets. Several of the tweets appearing under the said trends are not only distasteful and offensive but are violative of several provisions of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, and the IT Act, 2000.
Also given the sensitive situation prevailing in Uttar Pradesh on the back of communal clashes in Muzaffarnagar, which has already consumed 32 people, these tweets pose a real and imminent threat to the prevailing law and order situation in the state of Uttar Pradesh and across India.
"Not only those who post these tweets but also Twitter Inc. is liable for the above violation as it has made no effort whatsoever to delete the illegal, offensive tweets nor has it blocked the accounts of those users making such tweets,” Poonawalla wrote in the complaint. He said all the offensive tweets attract Section 66-A (a) and (b) i.e. punishment for sending offensive messages through communication service, etc. are in flagrant violation of section 295(A) of Indian Penal Code, 1860, as they “deliberately, intentionally and maliciously outraged the religious feelings of Muslims in written words and are cognizable and non-bailable.” The tweets violate Section 153-A (a) too as they promote enmity between different groups on grounds of religion and make imputations, assertions prejudicial to national-integration and hence are cognizable and non-bailable.
Tweeters that Poonawala cited include: @Brain_hunt, @Swamy39, @Chotebhai1, @Amit Jaindb, @InternetHindus, @Hiindus, @S_hindurashtra, @GuptaChiranjeev, @HazirJawab, @KaliaUstad, @paidmediahatesh, @biswajeetdash. He said their identities can be established by tracking their respective I.P. addresses and they must be booked for the commission of the above offences.
He urged the NHRC to direct the registration of an FIR in the instant case against Twitter Inc. and the listed known and unknown persons for violation of various sections of IPC 1860 and IT Act, 2000 and to direct the Department of Telecom to take necessary steps to filter, screen and remove all the illegal content on all social networking platforms that is likely to prejudicially affect the minority community.
