@PhilKnight: Hello. I have not made any legal threat against the Wikipedia encyclopedia or any of its employees. As a participant in the discussion on this website I came to know that several Indian news websites have published the name of the Rape and Murder victim in breach of Indian Law and directions of Supreme Court of India. As a resident of India I, and very other Indian person on that discussion page, am legally obliged to report the same to the authorities/Indian Police/Magistrate under pain of prosecution if I fail to do so. The relevant section of law is section 39 of CRPC. Is it a crime to comply with the laws of India on your website which do not endanger this encyclopedia in any way ?

• Could I ask you not to post any further that you are reporting news websites to the authorities? PhilKnight (talk) 06:31, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

@PhilKnight:Yes. That is not a problem and I wont post that in future. As Wikipedia is an education website I sought to educate. It seems I was wrong. Blaxstocatamazon (talk) 04:57, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

• If it's the same IP user who got blocked posting links to that ANI lawsuit, then they also reported a Wikipedian to authorities (per an email to which they posted a link on several talk pages), and they also posted several legal threats on the talk pages of several users from India.

  Here are potentially relevant links, if unblocking is considered: [1][2][3] (the latter, starting at "Some IPs are directly threatening Indian editors with legal action on the talk pages of ANI and the recent Kolkata rape case."). If it's indeed the same person, then the above would be their third block (within a time span of roughly two weeks) for making legal threats (and possibly other oversighted stuff).

I have nothing to do with that IP. I am 1600km (1000 US miles) away from that IP in India. Publishing name of an Indian rape/murder victim is a very emotive issue in India especially for human rights defenders who have struggled to get such safeguards installed in the first place.
