Probe man's claim of account hacking through microchip in body, court tells cops
Mumbai, Jan 15: A magistrate court in Mumbai directed police to probe the complaint of a man who claimed some unknown persons had hacked his social media accounts by placing a microchip in his body.
Borivali Metropolitan Magistrate B N Chikne last month directed Charkop police to register an FIR and conduct an investigation. The order was made available on Monday.
The court asked police to submit the final report as early as possible, adding that documents connected to the complaint must be forwarded to Cyber Crime under Charkop police station for necessary action.
The cause of action for filing this complaint arose due to hacking of all social media accounts of Sonawane, who claimed he had doubts that the hacker had bugged him by putting some microchip in his body.
He claimed the hacker managed to log into his accounts, including his new Gmail account, despite taking all precautions like changing passwords.
This had caused him a lot of harm, he said in his complaint filed through advocate Prakash Salsingikar.
Some unknown person is using the microchip to increase his heart rate on multiple occasions and, thus, his life is in danger, the complaint claimed.
After going through Sonawane's application and affidavit, the court said, prima facie, it appears there is disclosure of offences under Information Technology Act and section 420 (cheating) of Indian Penal Code.
In such circumstances, it is necessary to have a detailed investigation into the matter through police specially appointed for cyber crimes, the court said.

Mohsin's fifer helps LSG restrict KKR to 155/7 despite Rinku's 83
Lucknow (PTI): Lucknow Super Giants pacer Mohsin Khan added another sordid chapter to Kolkata Knight Riders' batting woes, taking five wickets to restrict the three-time champions to a modest 155 for seven in their IPL match here on Sunday.
Mohsin’s 5 for 23, a personal best for the left-arm pacer in this format, tore apart an already struggling KKR batting unit, as he snaffled the cream wickets of Ajinkya Rahane, Tim Seifert, Cameron Green, Rovman Powell and Anukul Roy.
Rinku Singh (83 not out, 51 balls) made a well-paced fifty and punished Mohammed Shami in the 19th over for 6, 4, 4 and the smoked four sixes in a row against spinner Digvesh Rathi as KKR made 43 runs in the last two overs to go past the 150-run mark.
But his fifty remained a lone act, as Mohsin firmly stood in the limelight.
His bowling ethos were rooted in simple tactics — bang the ball into the black soil pitch to gain bounce or use cutters at various pace to keep the batters guessing.
Mohsin, who started the night with a wicket maiden, showed his variety across two dismissals.
He followed Rahane with a fuller ball as the batter tried to go over the covers, but the ball’s trajectory forced the KKR skipper to just slice the ball up for a simple catch for Aiden Markram.
The 27-year-old stayed calm when Green, who looked comfortable out there while smashing George Linde for two successive sixes, slammed him for a huge maximum.
Two balls later, Mohsin dug one short, challenging Green (34) to go for the pull and the Australian all-rounder took the bait.
The into-the-body angle worked again as Green could only sky the ball to wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant.
Green’s ouster also ended a fifth wicket alliance worth 42 with Rinku Singh.
Bizarre dismissal of Raghuvanshi
=====================
If the existing turmoil was not enough, KKR had to bear the dejection of seeing Angkrish Raghuvanshi getting dismissed obstructing the field.
On the final ball of the fifth over from Prince Yadav, Raghuvanshi nudged one towards mid-on and set off for a single, only to be rejected by Green.
Raghuvanshi put in a dive to save himself but he came in the line of the throw from Shami.
Subsequently, third umpire Rohit Pandit accepted LSG’s appeal and decided that the batter’s turning radius was more than required, eventually resulting in the batter’s dismissal in a rare manner.
