Tambaram: The police arrested and jailed a husband for secretly taking photos and videos of his wife while she was bathing and changing clothes without her knowledge, and using artificial intelligence technology to turn them into obscene images.
Aishwarya (30) is from SSM Nagar, Pudhuperungalathur, near Tambaram. She married Niranjan Sharma, from Adhanur, Urapakkam, on May 29, 2019. The couple has a child.
Jewelry pawned
At the time of the marriage, Aishwarya had kept the gold jewelry given by her parents in a bank locker in Urappakkam. It was later found that her husband, Niranjan, had been taking the jewelry one by one without her knowledge and selling and pawning it.
This led to a dispute between the two families. Following this, on Sept. 20, she took her husband’s mobile phone and went with her child to her mother’s house.
Husband’s threat
On Nov. 4, she was shocked to find that her photographs had been morphed obscenely on her husband’s mobile phone.
It was also found that intimate videos taken without her knowledge, images edited to make it appear as though she was in an improper relationship with her mother, and photographs of several women collected from social media had been altered obscenely and stored on the phone.
When she decided to get a divorce, her husband threatened to upload the photos online.
It is said that when a complaint was first filed at the Perungudi police station regarding this, the police did not investigate properly; instead, they acted in support of the accused.
Following this, a complaint was filed with Police Commissioner Amalraj. Acting on his orders, the police registered a case, conducted an investigation, arrested Niranjan Sharma, and lodged him in prison.
Meanwhile, the affected party has insisted that departmental action should also be taken against the concerned police officer, who is said to have behaved in an indecent manner toward the woman who came to file the complaint.
