DASHMIT Singh Chawla alias Niki, one of the accused arrested in the
rave party case and let out on bail was re-arrested on Tuesday by the
Economic Offences Wing (EOW) and cyber-cell of the city police on
charges of posting a lurid profile of a girl who had spurned his
advances.

A few days ago, Dashmit had posted the profile of the girl after she
refused his proposal, threatened her over phone for the same.

Later, a team of EOW officials picked up Chawla from his residence at
Kondhwa and a complaint under section 67 of the Information Technology
Act has been registered against him at the Hinjewadi police station.

DCP (EOW and cyber Cell) Sunil Phulari said: "Dashmit is a management
student of a city college and hails from Raipur. He was trying to
entice the girl for some time. He threatened her with dire
consequences when she resisted his advances. Later, he posted an
obscene profile of her on the Orkut portal along with her cell
number."

Phulari added that Dashmit is a notorious character known for a flashy
lifestyle and lavish cars. Meanwhile, the DCP (EOW) has appealed to
the citizens to come forth and register their complaints in connection
with cyber crimes either with the cyber cell at the city police
commissionerate or call 26124452.
