The police have entered into an agreement with Orkut, an online community portal, to check its misuse. With this, Kochi becomes the fourth city after New Delhi, Mumbai and Lucknow to have a facility to tackle those misusing Orkut.
On an average, the police get 20 complaints a month about misuse or abuse of the portal, which has caught on with those hooked to the Net.
Though most of the complainants stop at getting the false site removed, the police team can support those who want to follow up the complaint. “We can have the Internet Protocol (IP) address, if we want to, and thus lead to the suspect,” Mr. Abraham said.
Once convicted, offenders can get imprisonment up to five years under the information technology Act.
