To settle score, woman circulates nude pics, videos of colleague

November 13, 2012

cover-thumb Kochi, November 13: Professional jealousy between two girls turned sour when one of them, with the help of her Facebook friend circulated nude pictures and videos of the other through emails among senior officials and colleagues in their organization.

Kochi city police on Monday arrested the accused, Gayathri (24) of Thiruvananthapuram, and her friend, Aswin Nair (26) of Kuzhalmannam in Palakkad. The police team led by North sub inspector S Vijayashankar, which probed the case after the victim's mother lodged a complaint with Kochi range inspector general K Padmakumar on November 7, was able to unearth the plot.

The victim is 24-year-old Sindhu (name changed) of Kathrikadavu in the city. Both Sindhu and Gayathri were working in an FM channel in Dubai for the last one year.

Police are also on the lookout for another person who had helped Gayathri circulate the emails. According to police, Gayathri developed animosity towards Sindhu when the latter made changes to the programmes hosted by her. As both hailed from Kerala and had worked with various media groups, Gayathri dug up Sindhu's past and found out that she was a divorcee and had had an affair with one Aswin Kumar of Thrissur.

Gayathri contacted Aswin, a merchant navy officer, through FB and the two soon became friends. Aswin then revealed the details of his affair with Sindhu, who he had met in Thrissur where she worked with a local FM channel after her divorce.

It was while the two stayed together that Aswin took nude pictures and videos of Sindhu and saved it in his personal computer. In due course, their relationship got strained and Sindhu went to Dubai for employment.

Police said Gayathri took advantage of Aswin's hatred towards Sindhu. She asked him to send the pictures to a fake mail ID, which she had created solely for circulating the pictures. Though Aswin had earlier threatened Sindhu with publishing her nude pictures, he had not done so.

"We have collected all relevant evidence with the help of the city cyber police wing. Aswin was arrested when he landed in Kochi to see his friends. We also have the call details of the accused," police said. The accused were produced before the court which granted them bail.

Ahmedabad, Jan 20: Cops in Gandhinagar fell in a catch-22 situation when a state government employee approached them with a complaint that the 26-year-old woman class teacher of his 14-year-old son had gone missing taking his son in tow. The man, who works at Udyog Bhavan in Gandhinagar said the woman had seduced his teenage son, who studies in class VIII and taken him away with her. The boy had gone missing from 4pm on Friday, and the classteacher was also missing.

A police official said the woman teacher had been too intimate with the allegedly missing boy for around a year, and the school authorities had recently rebuked them. “As their relationship was unaccepted, they left their homes on Friday,” he said. It was rare to find a case of a woman teacher eloping with her teenage student, the official added.

An FIR for elopement under Section 363 IPC has been registered with Kalol city police in Gandhinagar district. The complaint stated the teacher is a resident of Darbari chawl in Kalol town.

“When I reached home at around 7pm, I found my son missing. My wife told me he had left home at around 4pm. We searched for him in the neighbourhood and among relatives, but couldn’t trace him,” claims the teenage boy’s father in the FIR. “I went to the teacher’s house but they were not there,” the man stated.

Inspector K K Desai of Kalol city police said the missing duo could not be traced as they were not carrying cellphones.
