Nagpur: City’s red-light locality Ganga Jamuna witnessed high drama after a 23-year-old man from Amravati, Dharmendra Kushwaha, was nabbed by women while filming them discreetly. A 40-year-old woman, who had registered a similar complaint in October last year, was instrumental in netting Kushwaha.
It’s learnt Kushwaha, who worked as a farm labourer, made videos in red-light areas for his accomplice, also under the scanner in this case. They used to upload them on a YouTube channel by the name ‘Ganga Jamuna’ for the last few months. Police said Kushwaha was lured by the prospect of making fast money through YouTube channel by making it popular with sleazy content.
“The movement of the man (Kushwaha) was doubtful and he also had the cell phone kept in his shirt pocket in such way that it was filming the women,” said the woman who nabbed him. “One of us went close to him and picked up his cell phone which was in video mode. We later handed him over to the cops,” said the woman.
A police complaint had been lodged after the 40-year-old woman came across one such video of her in the channel. Approaching Lakadganj police, she had registered an offence. The cyber cell too was alerted. TOI too had published the efforts of the woman from red-light locality who wanted to fight for justice.
Though the cyber cell had deleted a couple of links, Kushwaha and his accomplice used to repeatedly upload fresh videos. A couple of days ago, the cyber cell had also traced to Amravati the mobile phone location from which the videos were being uploaded onto the channel. They had also alerted Lakadganj police.
Even as Lakadganj police were planning to visit Amravati for investigations, Kushwaha was trapped by the women at Ganga Jamuna.
Senior inspector Parag Pote of Lakadganj police station said Kushwaha’s accomplice needs to be apprehended now from Amravati for further investigation.
