Woman held for sharing estranged husband’s indecent pics on Instagram

Surat: A 29-year-old woman was arrested by cyber sleuths on Monday for allegedly creating Instagram accounts of her husband and posting his indecent images on it. After questioning, cops released the woman, a post-graduate in arts, on bail.
According to the police, the couple was married for five years but had developed severe dispute for the past three years and were living separately. To harass her husband, the woman took the route of social media, police said.
The 30-year-old textile businessman lodged the complaint with the cyber-crime police on May 22. Police had booked unidentified persons for defamation and other charges under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Information Technology Act. However, during investigation, the role of the woman was found.
Probe revealed that she had created multiple Instagram accounts using her mobile phone. “Her husband had doubts on her as his private photos were available only with his wife. But he was not sure. Only during investigation we found that she had shared the images on social media out of anger,” said police.
