The police said that the man, who is said to be from an African nation and had tweeted saying, &lsquo;fat people don&rsquo;t have the right to live.&rsquo; The woman then posted a comment in opposition of the man&rsquo;s statement which led to an argument. &ldquo;The argument continued on both sides, where the woman and the accused wrote a series of comments with inputs and comments from other people as well,&rdquo; said an officer from Shivaji Park police station, who did not wish to be named as per reports by the <a title="Twitter fat comment" href="http://www.hindustantimes.com/mumbai-news/32-year-old-mumbai-woman-files-molestation-complaint-after-man-calls-her-fat-on-twitter/story-zkPz9Xl0a5e4mxhhwi9hDK.html" target="_blank">Hindustan Times</a>.
When the argument escalated, the man allegedly called the woman fat and abused her. &ldquo;Based on the woman&rsquo;s statement, we have registered a case under section 354 of the Indian Penal Code [for outraging a woman&rsquo;s modesty through gesture or words] against an unknown person.&rdquo;
The police are not trying to find out the identity of the accused from the twitter ID provided. An officer said, &ldquo;We have found out that the accused lives in Africa, but we are confirming his identity through the username and profile on his Twitter account which can be fake. We don&rsquo;t want to share the id and alert the accused into deleting his comments.&rdquo;
The case will not be forwarded to the cyber cell department and they are likely to investigate the matter further.&nbsp;
