Vulgar texts to Shaina NC: Accused traced to Uttar Pradesh

“I started receiving messages in December. Initially they were cordial but later the WhatsApp messages became extremely vulgar and abusive. The person had been stalking me on social media as well,” Shaina NC told The Indian Express.

“I first ignored the messages. But when they became so vulgar that I was unable to even read them, I lodged a complaint at the cyber police station in Bandra Kurla Complex on Friday,” she added.

According to the BJP leader, the cyber police have already sent a team to arrest the accused. “People can’t let such harassment carry on. The person needed to be taught a lesson. There has to be a deterrent to such harassment that women face on a daily basis,” the BJP leader said. “I hope other women who face such harassment on social media platforms come forward and file a complaint. I have faith in the system,” she added.

Recently, an RTI activist from Jalgaon was arrested by the Vile Parle police for allegedly sending lewd text messages and death threats to multiple politicians on February 21 and 27.
