Mumbai, July 22: A man in Mumbai is currently evading authorities after allegedly sharing nude pics and sex videos of his 20-year-old girlfriend with her uncle and mother. The incident, which has sparked outrage, occurred on Sunday, July 21. A case has been filed against the accused based on the woman's statement under sections 75 and 77 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Act. The victim is an aspiring air hostess.

The police officials told in a report by Hindustan Times that the victim, who is pursuing an air hostess course at an institution in Mumbai, has lived with her grandmother and uncle in the marine lines area of Mumbai for the past two years. The accused, who was also her boyfriend, recorded a video of them having sex without her notice. Mumbai: Man Uploads Pics and Videos of Couple’s Intimate Moments on Porn Site, Takes INR 50,000 To Delete Them; Arrested.

"We have registered a case against the man based on the woman’s statement and are searching for the accused,” said senior police inspector Nitin Tadake. The victim's FIR statement states that the woman, previously residing with her parents in Mysore, Karnataka, was sent to her grandmother’s place in Mumbai for further education due to her parents’s disapproval of her relationship with the man. She arrived in Mumbai in 2022, enrolled at a college on Charni Road, and began studying to become a flight attendant. In January 2022, she and her boyfriend began a physical relationship, during which he recorded videos without her consent.
