The setback with the internet, says a cyber crime specialist, is that it is becoming a factual world, although lacking several set of laws or laws that administer us. Adnan Patrawala is a right case in point. His murder was part-plotted on the net by his friends, and the police is still trying to loosen the distinctiveness of a person known to be ‘Angel’ who was believed to be Adnan’s online girlfriend. After the murder, Adnan’s profile was fiddled with and numerous messages were removed.
It was not the opening brush of societal networking sites with crime. Whereas before the cases were restricted to hacking, posting vulgar profiles and morphing pictures, this is the second murder which has been linked with such websites. But all these crimes go to prove one thing – the online criminal is our midst and he/she will stop at nothing!
A polished, complicated unfamiliar person you meet on the net who knows your likes and hates. He is typically tech-savvy and sounds like an ideal bet to befriend or date. In actuality, he may be a ditched lover, a voyeur, a miserable or nasty colleague; an obsessive fan or an entirety stranger; most stalkers, nevertheless; are disheartened, tortured, skeptical people out to emit their aggravation on the people they meet there in the cyber world.
