Tailor held for harassing woman in Noida

NEW DELHI: A 25-year-old tailor was arrested in Noida for allegedly sharing a woman's number on a WhatsApp group after she refused to talk to him. The accused was identified as Sajim Khan, a native of Hapur. He works as a tailor for a private company in Noida.
Deputy commissioner of police (North) Sagar Singh Kalsi said the 24-year-old complainant told cops that someone had posted her phone number in a WhatsApp group and since then, she had been receiving obscene videos, photos, and messages from different unknown numbers. A case was registered in this regard.
"We wrote to WhatsApp regarding the details of the phone number that posted the victim's number on the group. The details were provided by them. A team under SHO (cyber) Pawan Tomar was constituted and during investigation, it found that the mobile number belonged to one Najim Ali of Hapur," police said.
Ali informed the police that his elder brother, Khan, a tailor at a Noida-based company, was using his SIM card. The team conducted a raid and nabbed him at a park in Noida. The mobile phone used in the offence was recovered.
Police said Khan and the victim live in the same locality and he somehow managed to get her phone number. "He made several phone calls to her and attempted to strike up a conversation, but the woman showed disinterest and complained about him to her husband, who called the accused and a heated conversation took place," the officer said.
Khan decided to take revenge and hence, he posted the victim's phone number on a WhatsApp group.
(The victim's identity has not been revealed to protect her privacy as per Supreme court directives on cases related to sexual assault)
