Lt Col arrested for child pornography
NDTV Correspondent, Friday May 7, 2010, Mumbai


A serving Army officer, Lieutenant Colonel Jagmohan Balbir Singh, has
been arrested in Mumbai for disseminating child pornography over the
Internet.

Forty two-year-old Singh was arrested by the Cyber Cell in Mumbai on
Thursday and will stay in police custody till May 12.

Singh allegedly posted and downloaded pornographic photos of foreign
children between the ages of 3 and 10 on the internet. The German
Federal Bureau spotted the photos on a child pornography site and
traced the pictures to India. Interpol was alerted which then passed
on the information to India's Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)
who passed it onto the Mumbai Crime Branch.

The Mumbai police has taken two hard drives from Singh's house as
evidence against him.

A spokesperson for the Army said Singh has been on study leave, and is
currently not attached to any unit. He also confirmed that the Army
will apply for bail so that it can deal with Singh's case.
