Journalist’s Facebook account Hacked to post Thackeray images

MUMBAI: After a teenager was embroiled in a controversy over obscene comments being posted in a Facebook account against Raj Thackeray, another case of objectionable online content has emerged from Palghar. 

This time, an FB account used by a 39-year-old Palghar journalist has allegedly been hacked to upload objectionable images and abusive remarks against Bal Thackeray. The local Shiv Sena unit was aware of the matter but refrained from acting on it. 

Mohammed Hussain (39), who runs a fortnightly newspaper, realized on Thursday evening that the FB account he had opened in the paper's name had been hacked. He submitted a written complaint to the Palghar police early on Friday. The cops, however, were yet to register a case and were likely to forward the complaint to the Thane cyber crime cell. A CD containing the images was also handed over to the police. 

Raj Thackeray's children lodge Complaint to police over facebook fake account


MNS chief Raj Thackrey's children have filed a complaint with the Maharashtra cyber cell over fake Facebook and Twitter accounts in their names. Raj's son and daughter have asked the police to try and block these accounts and clarified that they have no accounts on social media websites.
Raj's children have also requested people to not fall for such a trap and send friend requests. In yet another case emerging from Palghar town in the district, police have received a complaint about some "objectionable" matter relating to late Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray posted on a "fake" Facebook account of a local newspaper. Mohammed Hussain Nadi Sarwar Khan (30), editor of 'Palghar Mirror', a fortnightly newspaper in Hindi and Marathi, complained that a fake Facebook account had been opened in his newspaper's name and objectionable photo and comments were posted against Thackeray.
"Last night, I was told that objectionable comments and photo were posted against Thackeray in my Palghar Mirror account on Facebook. When I saw it, I realised that my original account was not used but the hacker created another account in my newspaper's name. At about 3.30 am, I went to the police station and gave a written complaint," Khan said. But now, the fake account could not be seen as it appears to have been deactivated by the hacker, Hussain added.
"We have received an application mentioning about the objectionable comments and photo against Thackeray on fake Facebook account. We are inquiring into the matter," an officer at Palghar police station said. This is the second complaint at the police station involving "objectionable" content against Bal Thackeray.
Earlier, two girls were arrested after they had criticised in a Facebook post the November 18 shutdown due to Bal Thackeray's funeral. The two were later granted bail after they were remanded in 14-day judicial custody.  With additional information from PTI
