Mumbai CCIC arrests Army officer for Child Pornography

Investigations started in Germany in September 2009, when German Police tracked the IP address to India in respect of some Child Pornography matter. And the Police alerted the Interpol, which through CBI, forwarded the matter to Mumbai Police.
After completing the investigations, the Cyber Crime Investigation Cell raided the flat of the 42 year old lieutenant last week, who was caught red handed, while downloading porn clippings. The Mumbai Police has collected the hard disks, mobile phones, print outs, etc from the residence of the Army officer and booked him under section 67A of Information technology Act.
If convicted, he can be sentenced to a maximum seven years in jail and also fined Rs 10 lakh. The accused has been remanded to Police Custody till 12 May 2010.

my comment:As sending indecent material, in this case child pornography,is an illegal use of internet ,define as computer crime and he is arrested by the cyber crime investigation cell (CCIC) of the Mumbai police for allegedly posting obscene pictures of children on an international web site.
