AHMEDABAD: A 27-year-old woman from Paldi on Tuesday filed a complaint with Cybercrime police alleging that hackers including a person posing as a woman from Russia and a man from Madhya Pradesh had circulated pictures and videos of her, along with her intimate chats, on social media for not paying a Rs 20,000 ransom.
The woman, a senior IT professional, in her FIR said she has been using Instagram for about a year.
On September 20, she received a message on Instagram from a woman using an account by the name “Anastasia Goa”. She said the message said that intimate pictures, videos and chats of the complainant and her boyfriend would be sent to the complainant’s relatives.
The complainant asked the woman, whose profile said she was from Russia, to show her proof. After this, the Russian woman sent her screenshots of the intimate pictures, videos and chats.
The complainant thought her boyfriend had shared the pictures and videos with someone. She called him and asked him why he sent the material to others. He told her he had never sent any pictures and asked her to file a complaint.
When the complainant told the Russian woman she would file a complaint, she dared the complainant to do so. The Russian woman then demanded Rs 20,000 to delete the pictures, videos and chats. She also sent details of an international account of a Russian bank and the phone number of a Madhya Pradesh man for a UPI transaction. The complainant alleged that when she did not pay, the Russian woman sent her videos and pictures to her friend.
