It doesn't seems from Anand's mail that he is apologetic for his behavior. His final mail where he apologizes after quoting from the Zen is like mocking others.

Legally speaking it can also lead to a case of Online Harassment under Sexual Harassment and Cyber Bullying under Sec 66A of IT Act 2000. > > On Sat, Sep 7, 2013 at 9:03 PM, Daniel Greenfeld <pyda...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > As a PSF member I'm going to delurk right now.
