Bad Indians
Police knocked at Lakshmana Kailash K's door in Bangalore one morning, waking him up. They said he'd uploaded an insulting picture of Chhatrapati Shivaji, founder of the Maratha empire, on an Internet networking site. They arrested him for insulting Shivaji and put him in jail. Fifty days later, police released him. They say they'd found the real criminals, three weeks earlier.
