Kolkata: A young woman's phone number and pictures were allegedly circulated using leaflets by an unknown miscreant. On Saturday night, the victim lodged a complaint against the perpetrator at Belgharia police station in
this regard.
According to the sources, the victim, who is an Information Technology employee, had received a call on Thursday from a total stranger for friendship while she was
working in office.
She immediately disconnected the call. But the person kept on calling on her number. Eventually, she blocked the
phone number.
Later, she received some messages and her pictures on WhatsApp. After downloading the pictures she saw that someone or some persons had printed leaflets with her phone number and pictures on, along with some expletives. She also told police those pictures could only be found on her
Facebook account.
She informed police that on seeing a picture of the leaflet on WhatsApp she removed the number from the block list and called back. When she asked where he had found the leaflet, the person on opposite side told her he found those lying on the road in the Tyangra area.
The victim lodged a complaint against unknown person with the police and requested for a quick investigation.
It is suspected that someone known to her has committed the offence over some kind of incident that had taken earlier.
During interrogating the victim said earlier someone had written her name and mobile phone number inside the toilet of a long distance train. She had to face immense trouble due to that.
After hearing the previous incident, the sleuths suspect the offender might be someone who might have tried getting close to the victim which she did not allow. Thus, the person is seeking revenge. No one has been arrested yet.
