Jammu, June 5: The Crime Branch filed a charge sheet before the Court of City Judge, Jammu, against two individuals accused of cyberstalking, blackmail, and uploading pornographic content to harass a young woman.
The case originated from a complaint lodged by a distressed mother, alleging that her daughter had fallen victim to an online stalking and blackmailing campaign.
Unknown individuals had reportedly created a fake Instagram profile of the victim, using her pornographic image as the display picture and continuously harassing her by posting obscene content from multiple Instagram accounts.
Based on the complaint, an FIR was registered on January 31, 2025, at Police Station CICE Jammu. The investigation identified two accused persons, Kunal Bharti, who is currently residing in Dubai, and Tirlok Chand Yadav, a resident of Ajmer, Rajasthan.
Utilizing modern cyber forensic tools, the officer collected vital digital evidence, including data from telecom service providers and social media platforms. Techniques such as reverse ILD/IPDR tracing were employed to unmask the digital footprints of the accused.
The charge sheet against both individuals has been filed under Section 78 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) read with Section 67 of the Information Technology Act, 2008 (Amended).
