Himachal Pradesh wants to criminalise sending unwanted SMS

Shimla: Himachal Pradesh government proposes to make sending of an unwanted message on mobile phone a cognizable offence, Director General of Police D S Manhas said here today.

“There is a proposal to amend the police rule under the State Police Act to declare the sending of unwanted messages on the mobile phone a cognizable offence”, he told reporters here.

Manhas pointed out that unless the affected persons lodge the complaint against the message, police can not
investigate the source of such messages.
