Ruining social image
The accused had married the victim in 2011 and after almost seven years of marriage, the two had got separated in January this year. The couple also have a son who lives with the mother.
The woman filed a complaint on November 13 at Sector 20 police station. She said that she had raised the matter earlier with the police a few months ago. However, the man did not stop misbehaving with her.
“He was called to the Noida SP city office and had given a written undertaking that he will not do it again but still there is no change,” the FIR reads.
Station House Officer Manoj Pant said the man was cyber stalking his estranged wife in which he sent vulgar and offensive text messages to her whenever he saw her with anyone on social media and had also uploaded his wife’s contact number at a porn website.
