Srinagar, May 10: Cyber Police have quizzed a youth after G N Var President of Private Schools Association of Jammu and Kashmir and Private schools (PSAJK) filed online harassment and maligning case.
The police traced the location of the accused and brought him to the concerned police station to know the reason behind his online activity.
When confronted, the accused broke down and accepted that he had started an online campaign of sorts to malign the private schools and the PSAJK. “When asked for any valid reason or if he had any evidence-based complaint against the association, he said that he had none. He had done it partly for making fun of private schools and partly out of frustration of losing his job,” said a spokesperson of PSAJK.
The Association lamented that people are misusing the right of expression on social media and turning it into a tool to malign and harass people. “We are not against the right to expression and even criticizing of schools, but everything should be backed by strong evidence. If people have a genuine complaint they can approach us through our designated channels. Maligning and harassing people achieve nothing. This time PSAJK has forgiven the said person but in case of repetition of such maligning activity we will let the law take its course,” said the spokesperson of PSAJK.
“Even Islam strictly forbids such kind of maligning activity and labeling of unfounded accusations. So people should use social media responsible for the constructive work.”
The association thanked the Cyber Police for taking action in the case speedily.
