In a shocking case of cyberbullying, a man named Pratim Bora was arrested in Assam’s Dibrugarh for opening a face social media account impersonating influencer Archita Phukan, better known as Babydoll Archi. The arrest was made on Saturday evening after Phukan’s family lodged a police complaint. Keep on reading to know more in detail about who is Pratim Bora.
Who Is Pratim Bora?
Pratim Bora, a resident of Tinsukia and Archita’s alleged ex-boyfriend, operated the fake account for weeks, police sources said. He used photos taken from her previous social media posts, then employed AI software to doctored them into objectionable material. Perhaps the most scandalous was doctored photos of Archita paired with adult film star Kendra Lust, which were posted online from the imitation account.
The matter was referred to the authorities only after Archita’s friends and fans began warning her regarding the morphed pictures going viral on the internet. The magnitude and maliciousness of the posts caused concern, so her brother approached the authorities trying to trigger a cybercrime probe.
The authorities made public that Bora had first gone underground. But he was traced by investigators through digital trails such as IP address records and cell signals. He was finally arrested from a rented apartment in Tinsukia. Under questioning, Bora reportedly admitted to opening the account in revenge, saying he did so because he was frustrated and resentful after his breakup with Phukan.
His smartphone and laptop have also been confiscated and have been forwarded for forensic analysis. The investigators suspect that AI-based editing software was employed to produce the false images, and it is an added concern in itself to the rampant abuse of new technologies.
Police have filed an FIR under the newly enacted Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and other charges are probable under the Information Technology Act. These will also include sections such as cyber harassment, defamation, impersonation through electronic means, and violations of privacy.
Bora is under police custody and is likely to be presented in court in the near future. In the meantime, the authorities have appealed to citizens to report similar online harassment, emphasizing awareness and alertness in the modern era.
