Ernakulam police in Kerala detain man for derogatory comments on actor Honey Rose's social media post, under BNS and IT Act.
The Ernakulam Central police in Kerala on Monday (January 6, 2024) took into custody a man in connection with a case registered for making derogatory comments beneath a social media post of actor Honey Rose.
The person detained has been identified as Shaji, 60, of Kumbalam. The case was registered on Sunday (January 5, 2025) after the actor had lodged a complaint against 30 persons who had made similar offensive comments on the day. The case has been registered under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Section 75 (sexual harassment) and the Information Technology Act Section 67 (punishment for publishing or transmitting obscene material in electronic form).
“We are verifying the credentials of the person detained and after which, the arrest will be recorded, if needed, in which case he will be produced before the court since the charges invoked are non-bailable. We are in the process of tracking down the rest of the accused though not all of them need not be from Ernakulam district itself,” said police sources.
Ms. Rose in her post said that a person, whom she did she did not name, was stalking her and through innuendos was trying to humiliate her after she had declined the invitation from the person to participate in some events. Since then, the person in question, as if in revenge, attended the functions to which she was invited. The person also spoke without respect to women, she complained.
It was against the comments posted to this post that the actor lodged the police complaint.
