A woman from Kannur district in Kerala has officially lodged a formal complaint with the cyber police against a resident of Vadakara for allegedly filming her inside a private bus without consent and subsequently circulating the video on various social media platforms. The complainant has strongly demanded that law enforcement authorities take immediate and decisive action to have the controversial video removed from all online sites where it has been shared.
Background of the Vadakara Woman
The Vadakara native involved in this incident was previously arrested on charges of abetment in connection with the tragic death of Kozhikode resident Deepak U. This arrest stemmed from an earlier episode where she posted a video captured inside a crowded bus in Payyannur, in which she accused Deepak of sexually harassing her. After this video went viral across social media, Deepak reportedly took his own life, highlighting the severe real-world consequences of such digital actions.
Details of the Current Complaint
In the latest development, the Vadakara woman is alleged to have filmed the Kannur native who has now filed the complaint. This filming occurred while she was capturing video footage from the same crowded bus, raising serious concerns about privacy violations and unauthorized recording in public transport settings. The complainant asserts that her image was captured without permission and disseminated online, causing her distress and potential harm to her reputation.
The cyber police are now investigating the matter to determine the full extent of the allegations and to assess whether any legal violations have occurred under relevant cyber laws. This case underscores the growing challenges of digital privacy and the ethical use of recording devices in shared spaces, particularly as social media amplifies the reach and impact of such content.
