[Reader-list] [SPAM] - Lt Col arrested for child pornography

[Kshmendra Kaul]

Dear Bipin
 
Steady dear Sir, steady.
 
You are quick to demand "should be hanged immediately if proven guilty"
 
There is no doubt that there is the likelihood of those showing interest in child pornography could be potential sexual molestors of children, and one should be thankful that the Internet is duly monitored to try and weed out such persons.
 
That said, even if the Lt Col were to be found guilty of 'downloading' and 'uploading' child-pornography (as the extent of the charge against him is known so far), that can by no stretch of 'justice' be considered to be deserving of the 'death penalty'.

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.
