In a recent incident highlighting the dark side of social media interactions, a woman corporator in Hyderabad has filed a complaint against online harassment, sparking a cybercrime investigation. The corporator, who attended a government school inauguration alongside Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy and other officials on October 4th, became the target of obscene and sexually abusive comments on social media platforms.
The incident unfolded when video footage of the ceremony was shared on Instagram and later reshared on Facebook. A user, identified as 'Aditya Reddy', allegedly posted sexually explicit remarks targeting the corporator's dignity. The victim promptly filed a complaint with the cybercrime police station, providing screengrabs of the offensive posts as evidence.
The cybercrime police have registered a case under the Information Technology Act and the BNS Act, specifically addressing online obscenity and insults to a woman's modesty. This swift action sends a clear message that such behavior will not be tolerated and that legal consequences await those who engage in cyberbullying and harassment.
As the investigation proceeds, the police will request IP details from the social media platforms to identify the accused. This case underscores the growing importance of online safety and the need for stringent measures to protect individuals, especially women in public positions, from cyber abuse. With the increasing prevalence of social media, authorities must remain vigilant in combating online harassment to ensure a safe digital environment for all.
