NEW DELHI: The man who threatened to rape Congress leader Priyanka Chaturvedi's 10-year-old daughter was arrested today in Gujarat by a team of the Mumbai police and identified as one Girish Maheshwari.He has been charged under the stringent Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO), in addition to the IT Act - his threat was delivered via Twitter - and some other provisions of the Indian penal Code.Chaturvedi thanked the police for their swift action.A case was registered against Maheshwari following a directive from the Union Home Ministry, who asked for action to be taken against a Twitter user who goes by the name '@GirishK1605' on the microblogging platform. The Delhi Police also filed a complaint.Maheshwari, who was arrested in Ahmedabad, was taken to Mumbai today. And tomorrow, he will be produced in court.Chaturvedi, a Congress spokeswoman, complained to the Mumbai Police on Monday after a tweet from Maheshwari with the threat that he will rape her daughter. His reasoning - if that's what it can be called - was that he believed, wrongly, that Chaturvedi was supporting the man accused of rape in Mandsaur in Madhya Pradesh recently.The Congress spokeswoman mentioned in her complaint that the then unidentified Twitter troll, despite using an image of Lord Ram in his profile picture on Twitter, made such a vile threat."Despite having a picture of Lord Ram as his profile picture, the accused did not hesitate from making such remarks," Chaturvedi tweeted.This incident came even as external affairs minister and senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj became the target of hate messages on Twitter following a row over issuance of passport to an interfaith couple.
