So under these penal codes which Armaan was arrested under, which other housemates should be arrested?
324 (voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means),
504 (intentional insult to provoke breach of peace)
509 (word, gesture or act intended to outrage the modesty of a woman) of the Indian Penal Code.
294 (obscene acts and songs), 506 (criminal intimidation)
354 a (sexual harassment) in the complaint against Kohli.
Tanisha was verbally/mentally abused by Kushal, should file a case IPC 506 & 509
Tanisha said Gauhar/Kamya need men in their lives, Gauhar/Kamya should file a case against her. IPC 509
Praty said Tanisha behaves like a bar girl, so Tani should file a case against her too. IPC 509
Vivek was abused by Kushal so Vivek needs file a case against Kushal. IPC 294, 354
Andy showing Gauhar's lingerie IPC 509
Kushal abusing Andy - IPC 354, 294, 504, 324
Asif was abused as well
EDIT: no intention to mock the system, but I feel a lot the charges can be applied to any of the housemates. I blame BB for all of it.
Well, I wish it was that simple. Not everyone can. First, the prima facie case is of outraging modesty of woman, which again is a woman specific law against a man. Hence, Tanisha cannot file a case against pratyusha. Needless to say, all others don't hold since they are not done by a man against a woman.
As far as kushal and andy is considered, a charge under 324 is hardly proceeded unless there is a serious hurt.
Now out of given sections.
354 will not hold up obviously, because there needs to be an overt physical act or action, which shows intent of unwanted intimacy, and the person has to act on it.
504 will not be applicable because it is mostly intended for religious or group acts. Police has registered it, but won't hold up in court of law since there was no possibility of arman mobilising a crowd against Sophia.
294 again I am not sure, specially due to censored visual. Unless arman has made some lewd signs and suggestions, it won't hold up.
The most serious charge is under 509 (which has been amended this year, due to delhi gangrape case) and is non-bailable, specially when it is coupled with 324.
