Mumbai: A-16-year-old girl from Borivali has lodged a complaint with the cyber crime cell of the Mumbai Police alleging that someone she befriended online had uploaded her pictures on social networking sites to defame her.
The youth, operating his Facebook, Instagram and Messenger account in the name Raj Malhotra, which police say may be a fake name, had been sharing the victim’s morphed image and video.
Malhotra has been harassing the victim, a Class XII student, for over two months. He increased the frequency of putting up the victim’s pictures in the past 15 days, leading to the police complaint.
In her letter to the cyber crime cell, girl said, “Some unknown person in her Facebook friends’ list was sharing her morphed images and videos online. This person is threatening me if I refuse to give my naked video. He has claimed that he will never stop and will continue to share it.”
The girl’s father said that during the time of her exams, the family noticed that she was very upset. “We thought that she was not performing well in her studies and that it may be the reason for her depression. It was only when her mother asked her that she narrated the entire incident to us,” he father said.
The family asked the girl’s friends about Malhotra. “But no one knows who he is. My daughter accepted an unknown friend request, which has led to all this,” he said.
