In Aligarh, a university teacher faced relentless online harassment on the Instagram page 'Voice of AMU'. The abusive posts targeted her personal life, mocked her health, and insulted her identity as someone from the Northeast. The harassment was not limited to slurs but expanded to a broader campaign aimed at defaming her and causing her significant distress.
The woman, alarmed by the situation, reached out to the AMU proctor's office, requesting the removal of the posts, suspension of the accounts involved, and the arrest of those responsible. AMU proctor Mohammad Naved expressed strong disapproval of the comments and forwarded the case to the Civil Lines police station, where a complaint was lodged.
The authorities registered an FIR under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Information Technology Act, initiating an investigation by the Civil Lines police and the cyber cell.
