A Mumbai sessions court has ruled that sending messages like "you are slim, look very smart and fair, I like you" to an unknown woman at night amounts to obscenity. The court upheld the conviction of a man booked for sending obscene messages on WhatsApp to a former corporator, stating that the messages were sent between 11 pm and 12.30 am with content like "you are slim", "you are looking very smart", "you are fair", "my age is 40 years", "are you married or not?" and "I like you". The court deemed these messages and the act an insult to the modesty of a woman, rejecting the accused's claim of political rivalry as the motive behind the case.
