Arrest uncalled for: Nasscom
By Our Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI,
DEC. 20.
Demanding the immediate release of Avnish Bajaj, the Chief Executive Officer of baazee.com, in the video clip scandal case, the National Association of Software and Service Companies (Nasscom) has expressed dismay over the episode and said that the arrest was "uncalled for."
In a statement today, the Nasscom president, Kiran Karnik, said: "We understand that the company and Mr. Bajaj have cooperated voluntarily and fully with the investigating authorities. All the evidence is on record and available. In such a situation, the arrest and detention of Mr. Bajaj is uncalled for and not expected in a mature democracy like ours.
"As a global, mature, and responsible technology industry and the most attractive destination for services, we need to ensure that we do not send out the wrong signals to global customers and investors. While the law must take its own course — without favour or fear — such a peremptory arrest in a case like this is not only an extreme and completely unnecessary step, it verges on draconian measures that do not fit into our self-image as a civilised, modern democracy."
