Arrest of Avnish Bajaj, CEO of baazee.com Is Deplorable

It's a weird case involving the sale of illicit internet porn, video via cell phone and the internet auction sell of VCDs. Unfortunately, the legal system in India has made this story even stranger by holding the CEO of baazee responsible for a crime he had nothing to do with. The India-born American citizen was arrested under Section 67 of the Information Technology Act which makes it a crime to transmit obscene material through electronic media. He was arrested Saturday and will not be released until December 24th. Most legal experts are perplexed about the arrest and continued holding of Bajaj. Amit Desai, a prominent lawyer in Mumbai, "Besides being put up for sale on Baazee.com - which was recently acquired by US-based e-bay.com - the 2.37-minute sex clip, filmed by the boy using his mobile phone, was circulated widely as a multimedia message and sold in the form of VCDs. Ravi Raj Singh, 23, a student of the Indian Institute of Technology at Kharagpur in West Bengal, was arrested Wednesday for allegedly selling the clip on VCDs to eight clients through Baazee.com." What kind of legal system holds a CEO responsible for a crime of which he had no knowledge and no way of stopping? murdok is the CEO of WebProBlog which focuses on internet business and marketing trends.
