Bahree jobless, father cries foul
M. RAJENDRAN

New Delhi, June 25: Kkaran Bahree was sacked by Infinity eSearch today for allegedly selling personal data of customers of British banks, but his father said he had been framed.

S.K. Bahree alleged his son was set up by Sameer Asim, a call centre worker and associate of The Sun reporter Oliver Harvey, who did the sting operation on Kkaran.

Infinity eSearch said it had dismissed Kkaran, who used to earn Rs 10,000 a month, to “help the law take its course” and had “provided all the information to Haryana police”.

“We held an emergency meeting of our board today and have decided to terminate the services of Kkaran Bahree. We do not need to give him any notice period since he was on probation,” company legal counsel Deepak Masih said.

The Bahrees’ modest, second-storey flat in Delhi’s Dilshad Garden was dark with all the curtains drawn. S.K. Bahree, insisting that Kkaran was not home, wouldn’t open the iron meshed door but spoke to The Telegraph through it.

TT: Can I speak to Kkaran?

Bahree: What is it?

TT: Is he at home?

Bahree: No, he has gone out. May I know who you are?

TT: I am a reporter.

Bahree: We don’t want to speak to reporters. Please leave us alone.

TT: Don’t you want to give your version?

Bahree: My son has been framed. He is innocent.

TT: Who framed him?

Bahree: The reporter like you and his acquaintance.

TT: Who is Sameer?

Bahree: An acquaintance of not more than a few days.

TT: Don’t you feel it would be good if Kkaran can tell me that? We can present his version.

Bahree: Leave your phone number and address. I will ask him to call you.

TT: Have police from Delhi or Haryana visited your house?

Bahree: No. But has a case been filed?

TT: I don’t know. But London police have said they do not have jurisdiction to arrest a person in India. So Indian police have to take action.

Bahree: Can you give me a written statement of London police? Please courier me the information. Please do….

Cyber law expert Pawan Duggal said: “Kkaran Bahree can be charged under Section 66 of the Information Technology Act, and under the Indian Penal Code for theft, criminal breach of trust and cheating. He could perhaps also be charged with conspiracy.”

“Kkaran was a quiet person and would be either home or in the shop behind the building that sells mobile phones,” a neighbour said.

“He used to meet many people at the mobile phone shop and discuss technical matters with them,” added the local grocer.

“He would ask for people’s phone numbers and copy them on another mobile.”

All I can add to that is why not have a look at his former employers site, and drop them a mail on what you think about this: www.infinityesearch.com/

Anyway I have been paid and so had some ale at the local JD Wetherspoons and trawled the net for some sillyness and here it is:

These are from B3TA 

 

 

 

 

Anyway in besides the silly bits I had a letter from my former employers. The usual p45 in post and all that legal compliance crap(shame they dont follow that themselves - I refer to the large fines Ltsb had from the FSA only just the other year) and advising about this that and the other. The one thing that was missing from it was a bit about although you have left good luck in your new job or something on those lines(even if they never meant it, it still would have been polite to put it in the letter). Still I expect nothing from that company, and I have yet to be disapointed on that score.

And one last bit of nonsense then I am off to watch tv for a bit:  

And yeah this is offensive but well I had to put it out. 


And whilst I am in a bit of a mood here is a classic on why the French should not be allowed to make descions in NATO or have any input in matters military:

Following the rejection of his Continental System by Czar Alexander I, French Emperor Napoleon orders his Grande Armýe, the largest European military force ever assembled to that date, into Russia. The enormous army, featuring some 500,000 soldiers and staff, included troops from all the European countries under the sway of the French Empire.

During the opening months of the invasion, Napoleon was forced to contend with a bitter Russian army in perpetual retreat. Refusing to engage Napoleon’s superior army in a full-scale confrontation, the Russians under General Mikhail Kutuzov burned everything behind them as they retreated deeper and deeper into Russia. On September 7, the indecisive Battle of Borodino was fought, in which both sides suffered terrible losses. On September 14, Napoleon arrived in Moscow intending to find supplies but instead found almost the entire population evacuated, and the Russian army retreated again. Early the next morning, fires broke across the city, set by Russian patriots, and the Grande Armýe’s winter quarters were destroyed. After waiting a month for a surrender that never came, Napoleon, faced with the onset of the Russian winter, was forced to order his starving army out of Moscow.

During the disastrous retreat, Napoleon’s army suffered continual harassment from a suddenly aggressive and merciless Russian army. Stalked by hunger and the deadly lances of the Cossacks, the decimated army reached the Berezina River late in November, but found their way blocked by the Russians. On November 27, Napoleon forced a way across at Studenka, and when the bulk of his army passed the river two days later, he was forced to burn his makeshift bridges behind him, stranding some 10,000 stragglers on the other side. From there, the retreat became a rout, and on December 8 Napoleon left what remained of his army to return to Paris. Six days later, the Grande Armýe finally escaped Russia, having suffered a loss of more than 400,000 men during the disastrous invasion.
