Jadavpur University girl harassed on social media

KOLKATA: A day after Delhi police arrested the administrator of an Instagram private chat group named Bois Locker Room, where teenage boys planned gang-rape,a woman in Kolkata lodged a complaint on Wednesday, alleging unknown men have been sharing her social media pictures on Instagram and WhatsApp and commenting on her body. The 22-year-old Jadavpur University student lodged an email complaint with the cyber crime police station requesting strict action against the men involved in the act.
“In January, I had received a text message on my Instagram chat from an unknown youth who sent me a screenshot of a WhatsApp chat. The screenshot had a photograph of mine where random men were commenting on my body and were writing about sexually assaulting me. I had asked the youth for the details of the men. He said he was a part of the group but felt bad when he saw my image and thought of warning me. He said some of the men were from my university, but didn’t reveal their names,” the woman told TOI.
She said she initially ignored the matter, but after the Delhi incident, she thought of letting the cops know. An officer asked her to visit the police headquarters in Lalbazar on Thursday to file a written complaint.
On Monday, tweets by a profile named Aiyoobrows accused a group of men from Kolkata of “using semi-nude and nude pictures of women in a Google drive and circulating it among friends.” The profile user claimed all the accused are former JU students. Following her post, several women came forward to confirm the existence of such a drive.
