A Class IV employee at a school in Ahmedabad's Bapunagar area has taken a firm stand against online harassment by filing a formal police complaint. The woman, who works as a peon, alleges that a man with whom she was previously in a relationship has been threatening to release explicit videos and photographs of her on social media to damage her reputation.
From Friendship to Harassment: The Timeline of Events
According to the detailed complaint lodged with the Bapunagar police, the accused initially approached the woman seeking friendship. This connection later developed into a romantic relationship. During the course of their relationship, the two exchanged personal photos and videos in confidence.
The situation took a turn when the woman discovered that the man was also involved with another woman and was battling certain addictions. This led her to end the relationship. However, the separation marked the beginning of a prolonged period of harassment that has lasted for over six months.
Threats and Online Intimidation Escalate
After the breakup, the accused allegedly began bombarding the woman with persistent calls from various phone numbers, pressuring her to restart their relationship. When she stood her ground and refused, the threats began.
The complainant states that the man explicitly threatened her, saying, "If you don't come back to me, I will ruin your life by posting our videos and photos on social media." The harassment intensified recently when the woman received an alarming call from an unknown person.
This caller informed her that an explicit video featuring her had been posted online, and her phone number was shared alongside it. The woman immediately asked a friend to verify this claim, who confirmed the distressing news. This act of allegedly sharing private content publicly with her contact details pushed her to seek legal recourse.
Legal Action and Charges Filed
The victim has now approached the authorities, seeking justice and protection. In her complaint, she has urged the police to take strict action against the accused for multiple serious offences.
The charges mentioned in the complaint include defamation, harassment, and criminal conspiracy. The case highlights the growing menace of using intimate content as a tool for blackmail and revenge, especially after the end of a relationship. The Bapunagar police are investigating the matter based on the allegations presented.
