*Guidelines for publishing photographs of people seem to be missing with newspapers.(1) ****A Dr.Lad(a Doctor, senior citizen) misbehaves, in ineberiated condition, with a female and ****also impersonates a police officer.
Has his full face photograph published in mumbai mirror ****page 1(dated February 12)., (2) One Mr.Lokesh gholap charged by Thane Traffic Police for ****letting his drunk friend drive has his full face photo(including that of his "drunk friend") in ****mumbai mirror, page 10(also dated February 12) while(3) in Mumbai Mirror, page 1(dated ****February 18)
The same mumbai mirror gives us a FULLY COVERED FACE of men from Indian Mujahideen -alleged ****terrorist outfit and a threat to the nation, arrested and facing trial for terrorising the entire ****nation. Does it mean that the offence and crime of(1) and(2) are more serious and that the ****people exposed in(1) and(2) are more dangerous than those of the people in(3).Shame.
A fit ****case against the newspaper for "defamation"(for publishing full face photos) and ****for"concealing, being accompolice to crime, abettment to crime" for hiding the faces of Indian ****Mujahideen men.*
