AGAINST the backdrop of the police complaint and subsequent arrest in a case of cyber abuse against actor Honey Rose, concerns have emerged in the public domain about whether a comment or reply can lead to detention. While individuals have the right to express their opinion, law-enforcement and judicial agencies emphasise that action will be taken based on the severity of the act.

"In this specific case, the offences were charged under sections addressing assault against women, particularly for sexually coloured remarks. When a complaint is filed under this provision of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), registering a case and making an arrest becomes inevitable. Furthermore, it is classified as a non-bailable offence," said M K Murali, assistant commissioner of Kochi City Cyber Police.
