According to police officers, the accused who was accused on Friday, allegedly posted a prank tweet to spread the coronavirus. “The accused Mujeeb Mohammad was arrested on Friday evening under sections 505, 207 and 190 of the Indian Penal Code for his social media post.” Deputy commissioner of Police Kuldeep Jain said.

The accused was produced in a local court on Saturday which remanded him to police custody for seven days for interrogation and investigation into the cyber crime. “As Muhammad is in our custody, we will interrogate him to ascertain why he uploaded such post” Kuldeep said.

The police picked up the 38 year old from his residence and seized two mobile phones and a laptop from his possession. “Mohammad did not give any valuable reason for uploading such a post but casually said ‘I just felt like posting it’. He was very casual” the police officer added.

Before confirming that Mohammad is responsible for his post, Infosys, in their tweet said “We are deeply concerned with an inappropriate post being attributed to an Infosys employee. We strongly reaffirm our commitment to responsible social-sharing. Our preliminary enquiry, and discussions with our employee suggest that this could be a case of a mistaken identity.”

However, given the seriousness with which we take such matters, we are investigating this further and will also assist with any independent investigation. The company would take appropriate action based on its investigation.
