I agree with Pratham. 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. The kind of behavior is
totally unacceptable and is kind of Cyber Violence and more specifically
Cyber Bullying. 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.
