Habitual cyber offenders will be booked under the amended Goonda Act, which was passed by the state legislature last week, home minister KJ George said on Monday. In a recent case, police have said they were considering invoking the amended Goonda Act against a right-wing activist who had launched verbal attacks on women and posted alleged inflammatory remarks against a minority community on Facebook.
V R Bhat, the accused, was arrested on 2 August. In a complaint filed with police, a woman has alleged that Bhat, in his reply to her Facebook post, made the objectionable remarks. Another complaint by a woman journalist alleged that Bhat made inflammatory remarks against a minority community.
