New Delhi - A student of IIT, Kharagpur was on Tuesday arrested by the Delhi
Police in connection with the online sale of obscene mobile phone video clips
featuring two Delhi Public School (DPS) students, which had created a sensation
in the city and triggered off debate on the misuse of information technology by
school children.
Following a report in the Today newspaper, the Police had registered a case in
this connection on December 9, Deputy Commissioner, Economic Offences Wing
(EOW) of the Delhi Police Prabhakar told UNI. | Earlier Report: Delhi students

This is the first arrest in the case, he said.
"We accessed the server of Baazee.com on which the CDs of the porn video clips
were available by which we came to know that eight people had been sold the
video clips and they had paid through 'paisapay.com'," he said.
An examination of the transaction registered with this portal yielded the bank
account address of the person who had placed these CDs for sale, and he
happened to be Rajiv Raj who is an eighth semester student of IIT, Kharagpur,
Prabhakar said.
Raj was arrested in Kharagpur by a Crime Branch team in the evening and will be
produced in the local court on Wednesday.
He will be brought to Delhi on Thursday, he said.
The DCP said the accused, apprehending his arrest, had left his hostel
informing the authorities that he was going to Hazaribagh to meet his father,
but in fact he was in the city and police zeroed in on him after getting his
mobile phone number from his friend.
The video clip was available with the portal Baazee.com for a price of Rs 125.
The two minute and 37 second CD was on sale in various markets of Delhi for
anything between Rs 50 and Rs 125.
Police had raided various places in the Capital and a Crime Branch team had
also gone to Mumbai to investigate the matter.
Prabhakar said a case has been registered under the Information Technology Act
and under sections of IPS relating to Sale of Obscene Literature in public, and
obscene act in any public place to the annoyance of others.
