The e-mail account of a professor at Vidyasagar University, who had lodged a complaint with the police and vigilance commissioner against the former Vice-Chancellor for his misappropriation of public fund, was hacked by an unknown person.
The Kotwali police in West Midnapore have initiated a case based on the complaint lodged by Dr.Abhijit Guha, Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology at Vidyasagar University regarding the hacking of his two e-mail IDs on the same day as early as 5 February, 2014, when he was attending a conference at the Institute of Development Studies, Kolkata, but the investigating police officials were unable to detect the hacker till today. The case was lodged under sections 65/ 66/66C of the Information Technology (Amendment) Act, 2008. Dr. Guha alleged that he could not access his two e-mails acconts abhijitguhavu@rediffmail.com and abhijitguhavu@yahoo.com which he was using since 2002.
In his complaints to Ms Bharati Ghosh, SP, West Midnapur Dr. Guha also alleged that the hacking took place after he lodged successive complaints from his e-mail ID abhijitguhavu@rediffmail.com to the State Vigilance Commissioner and the Inspector General of Police, West Bengal regarding the misappropriation of public funds and impersonation perpetrated by Mr. Swapan Kumar Pramanick, the former Vice-Chancellor of Vidyasagar University under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Prevention of Corruption Act.
It may be recalled that in a recent period the Vidyasagar University authorities have realised Rs 1,14,685 from the arrear salary of the former Vice-Chancellor in connection with a misappropriation done by Mr.Pramanick only after Dr.Guha had lodged a complaint against the former VC with the IG and SP of West Midnapore on 5 November 2013.
Mr Pramanick, who was close to the former CPI-M state leadership, had enjoyed two successive terms from 2003-2011.The delay in conducting investigation and consequent detection of the criminals related with the cyber crimes only proves the lacks of infrastructure at the district police level, a senior police officer said.
