Accused load obscene clips from computers for about Rs. 30

ADILABAD: Adilabad Town police on Sunday arrested five youth for possessing and commercially transmitting clips of blue films from computers to mobile phone instruments and seized computers and related material.

Allula Srinivas owner and helper Burgula Venkatesh of Srinivasa mobile shop at Bhuktapur and Koradi Santosh, owner of Srinivasa mobile shop near Natraj theatre and Bandari Satyanarayana, a resident of Bhuktapur were accused of possessing and transmitting the clips while Shaik Shakeel of Jainad mandal was accused of possessing clips in his cell phone.

Producing the accused at a press conference, Adilabad Assistant Superintendent of Police Tarun Joshi, Town CI S. Bala Raju and One Town SI D.A. John Diwakar said the police set up a decoy to discover the blue film clip transmission racket in town.

The accused used to load the obscene clips for a consideration of about Rs. 30 from the computers in their shops.

Mr. Tarun Joshi said the arrests were of importance because of last year’s incidents in town wherein clips in circulation featuring local girls had posed problems.

In order to prevent the problem taking menacing proportions, the police will also check at random the mobile phones of youth, he added.
