An FIR was lodged by Registrar Amar Singh of the Nilamber Pitamber University here on Saturday against a website operator, Navin Kumar Agarwal, with the Daltonganj police station. The text of the FIR ran into a few pages.
The Daltonganj police station officer in-charge Byas Ram has confirmed the lodging of the FIR by the registrar against Agarwal. Byas Ram said the Palamu SP Patel Mayur K lal has been aduly informed of this FIR. The police officer said the FIR is about cyber crime committed by the operator of the university’s official website.
Reading out from the text of the FIR the police officer said the web site operator morphed the photograph of the vice chancellor A N Ojha and presented it in a very obnoxious manner thus causing immense damage to the image and reputation of the VC added the police officer.
Byas Ram further said that as per the FIR the operator blocked the web site of the university and even made an insertion highly objectionable and without any authority what so ever. The police officer said the FIR’s content will be thoroughly investigated.
Sources said the FIR was lodged under order of the VC of the NP university. The university took the opinion of its lawyer N P Singh and proceeded with the FIR.
A student wing APSU ( All Palamu Students Union) was spearheading a pressure campaign against the university to lodge the FIR against the web site handler citing the morphing as the most nastiest of the work done by the web site operator.
The registrar on the other hand maintained that the lodging of the FIR had nothing to do with the pressure campaign of any students’ outfit rather the university was already determined to take to tough legal measures.
