Social media trial: Woman who uploaded video booked in Kerala
The incident related to the case happened last Friday, when the woman uploaded a video on Instagram, accusing Deepak of sexually harassing her while travelling on a private bus in Kannur district.
KOZHIKODE: What began as a social media post has now escalated into a major legal and human rights controversy in Kozhikode. After the family of Deepak -- a 42-year-old man from Govindapuram who died by suicide days after a video accusing him of sexual misconduct went viral -- moved top authorities demanding an exhaustive probe into his death, the police have slapped non-bailable charges against the woman who uploaded the content.
Based on a complaint filed by Deepak’s mother K Kanyaka, the Medical College police registered the case on Monday against the 35-year-old content creator, invoking section 108 (abetment of suicide) under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), for posting a defamatory video on social media. Earlier, Deepak’s family had written to the chief minister, the state and district police chiefs, and the district collector, seeking justice. Subsequently, the police have also recorded the statement of the family.
