Cyber cafes in the Nagpur city, India, are caught in midst of a political cross fire.
Times of India reports :
The ORKUT website has been in the eye of a storm over the past two months, after two public interest litigations were filed against it in Aurangabad and Mumbai for derogatory references to Maratha warrior king Chhatrapati Shivaji. State legislature at Nagpur, Shiv Sena MLC Arvind Sawant had demanded that the site be banned for 'obscene posts against Hindu women on the website'. Since then, fearing legal hassles, cyber cafe owners have asked their customers to refrain from logging on to orkut.com .
While rumors are the city police has issued a notice calling for a ban of the web site . None of the city cafe operators have received such a notice .
