In a shocking incident, two corporate employees in Gujarat’s Vadodara honey-trapped their boss on social media and circulated his nude pictures on various platforms to take revenge for his alleged pillorying. The employees first lured their boss into sending his nude photos to them and then circulated those pictures to his known people, including his wife, to humiliate him.
One of the two employees was reportedly a woman, who quit her job as she was unable to take her boss’ criticism anymore. With a plan to take revenge for the alleged humiliation in office, the duo joined hands almost three months ago and decided to honey-trap their boss to blackmail him, reported Times of India.
After suffering for almost three months, the victim (boss) decided to approach the Cyber Crime Police and lodged a complaint 10 days ago. During the investigation, the police tracked the duo and found that the crime was committed by two of his employees for ridiculing them for professional reasons.
“The woman came up with the idea of teaching the victim a lesson by making his life miserable. The duo then made a fake Instagram profile of a woman and started chatting with their boss about four months ago,” the police said.
The duo then began sending sexually explicit messages to their boss, who is in his late thirties. They also sent him nude pictures of a woman downloaded from the internet. Falling into the trap, their boss also sent his nude pictures on the fake Instagram account, run by the duo. Following this, he did not get any messages from the account.
A few days after the duo started blackmailing their boss via email by sending his nude photos and sexual chats. In September, the same pictures were sent by the duo to the HR department of the firm, they used to work in. Further, they mailed the photos and chats to the victim’s wife and sent the printouts of the pictures to her office address.
The duo then started stalking him. On seeing no end to the harassment, the victim approached cybercrime, who tracked the culprits.
“It was a case of corporate enmity. We have taken necessary legal steps,” said Hardik Makadia, ACP (cybercrime), Vadodara. The duo was issued notices under CrPC 41 (A) for recording their statements.
