Dismissing Sheker’s advance bail application, Justice S Ramathilagam directed police to take action on the complaint as they would do on a normal complaint against any person.

Ms. Justice Ramathilagam also said the language used in the Facebook post was abusive and obscene and not expected of a person of the petitioner’s calibre and age “who claims to be a literate with lot of credentials and a lot of followers. Instead of being a role model to his followers, he has set a wrong precedent.

“Every day, we see young emotional boys getting arrested for doing this type of activity on social media. Law is same to everyone and people should not lose faith in our judiciary… After seeing these forwarded words from a popular person… the public will look at every working woman with a suspicious eye,” the judge said.
