Mumbai, Feb 8: A software engineer from Andheri was arrested on charges of creating a fake Twitter handle of Sara Tendulkar, daughter of Sachin Tendulkar, and uploading derogatory and defamatory comments against NCP supremo Sharad Pawar.

The cyber police also seized a laptop, two mobile phones, a router and other computer accessories used by Nitin Sishode, 39, from his Military Road, Marol, Andheri, residence.

Sishode, who deals in second-hand laptops and mobile phone, and accessories has been booked for impersonation, cheating and defamation under IPC and the IT Act. He was produces in court and remanded in police custody till February 9.

Sachin Tendulkar's personal assistant had filed a complaint with the cyber police on Sachin's behalf that somebody has created a Twitter handle in the name of Sara, who is studying in London. It said Sachin was shocked by the fake account and reacted on several occasions that it was a fake profile.

"The Twitter handle which goes by the login ID @sarasachin_rt has uploaded several comments on Indian politics," said an officer. One post by the handle said: "Everyone knows that SP looted Maharashtra state but (it is) little known that he tried (it at the) Centre too."

After the complaint, the police scrutinized Twitter and found that several people had commented that the handle was not Sara's as she was not active on Twitter and also not interested in politics. "After going through the derogatory remarks and finding that it was a fake handle, we registered an offence and traced the IP address to Sishode's house in Andheri. With technical help, we also got confirmation that a particular router was used by Sishode," said a senior cop on condition of anonymity.

Sishode's adovate Ajay Dubey said Sishode has been implicated. "My client deals in second-hand computers and laptops. Though he told the police that somebody who bought a laptop from him may have uploaded the derogatory remarks, the police refused to listen and arrested him," he said.

The cops will now send Sishode's laptop to forensic experts to extract details about the user.

The West Bengal government has suspended two women teachers in East Burdwan district on the charge of teaching pre-primary students from an English alphabet book consisting of a portion derogatory to the people with a dark complexion.

While presenting the alphabets with corresponding words and images, the book says U is for "Ugly". The illustration printed beside the letter is that of a boy with a dark complexion.

"The book is not part of the textbooks referred by the education department. It was introduced by the school itself. We have zero-tolerance for acts which instil prejudices into the minds of students," Education Minister Partha Chatterjee told reporters here on Thursday.

He said the two teachers of a local municipality-run school have been placed under suspension with immediate effect based on a preliminary investigation and stricter action would be taken against them later.

Though the school is now closed because of the lockdown, the matter came to light when the father of a student of the school was teaching him with the help of that book. He informed other parents and the education department was apprised of the issue, sources said.

A video of the heinous incident of animal cruelty has surfaced on social media, in which the monkey is seen hanging by a rope from a tree, desperately flailing its limbs while a couple of dogs attempt to pounce on and torment the hapless simian.
