BENGALURU: Karnataka police sleuths carried out searches at Facebook’s Mumbai office on Thursday afternoon after the social media company refused to share information on the profile of a Mangaluru-based suspect who posted derogatory content on goddesses. Mangaluru police arrested the suspect and had also booked Facebook for non-cooperation Sources with the Mangaluru police said the search was carried out at FB’s office in Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) from 2pm, following an order issued by a Mangaluru court on Monday stating Facebook’s non-cooperation to divulge information on the profile of one Jabbar, alias Kudroli.Police sources said Facebook representatives have now assured the Mangaluru police that all information pertaining to the profile of the suspect will be provided within 48 hours. However, when contacted, Facebook officials declined to comment on the matter.“Jabbar had posted offensive content pertaining to some goddesses. With the content widely shared on social media and also through Whatsapp among many in Mangaluru, communal tension started to spread in the region. Police stepped in to track down the profiles and apprehended Jabbar,” said an investigating officer. Mangaluru police registered a case under section 153 A(promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion) and 295 A(deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting religious beliefs) in connection to the online content.“Despite repeated requests, including letters from senior police officials of the state given the nature of the case, Facebook consistently refrained from providing information. Thereafter, we registered a case against Facebook under Section 176 of IPC (omission to give information to public servant by person legally bound to give it) and obtained a warrant from the court to search the social media company’s office,” said an investigating officer with the Mangaluru police.Following the court order, Facebook’s office at Mumbai was searched by a Mangaluru police team with assistance from Mumbai Police and some details of Jabbar’s profile were collected, sources added.
