Two employees subjected a ‘torturous’ boss to a nasty three months of retaliation after they tricked him into sending in his naked photos on social media and shared them with his acquaintances, including his wife.
The victim’s two abusers, a woman who left her job as a software firm promoter because she could no longer stand his alleged bullying, are both women. The two got together three months ago and made the decision to blackmail and honeytrap him in order to exact revenge for the alleged humiliation they had endured.
The victim, the boss, came to the Cyber Crime police and filed a complaint ten days ago after three months of restless nights. The two were apprehended by police, claiming that their employer frequently chastised and made fun of them for work-related reasons.
According to the police, one of the employees came up with a plan to humiliate him and teach him a lesson. Four months ago, she and another worker created a fictitious Instagram account of a woman and began corresponding with the boss through it.
When the two started messaging each other indecently from the account, the boss—a man in his late thirties—thought a woman was speaking with him. A few naked pictures that they downloaded from a website were also sent. The boss sent his nude photos to the account that the two were managing after falling victim to their ruse. He did not receive any messages from this account after that.
A few days later, they sent the boss an email with screenshots of their sex chats and his nude pictures. The victim, the boss, became extremely anxious because he had no idea who had duped him. The two sent the same email to the company’s HR department in September, and he received it on his official email as well. However, the two didn’t end there. They mailed his wife the pictures and their conversations, and they printed off the pictures and delivered them to her workplace.
When pictures of his November visit to a mall arrived in the mail, the boss was at his wits’ end. When the boss noticed that the abusive and threatening emails continued until late November, he decided to confront the cybercriminals who had located the two using their IP address. The complainant is not eager to press the matter further, even though the two received notices under CrPC 41 (A) for recording their statements.
