The CB-CID police have booked a retired Pondicherry University professor for posting obscene remarks on a social media site about the chairwoman of the district-level complaints committee (DLCC) probing sexual harassment at workplace. DLCC chairwoman Vidyaa Ramkumar noticed the obscene remarks on Facebook and lodged a complaint with the cybercrime cell of the CB-CID.

The agency booked Pondicherry University retired Tamil professor S Arokianathan under Section 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of the Indian Penal Code and Section 67 (punishment for publishing or transmitting obscene material in electronic form) of the Information Technology Act.

The remarks are sexually coloured, she said urging the CB-CID to initiate appropriate action against him.
