This Man From UP Made Obscene Video Calls To 370 Women And Then Blackmailed Them

These pandemic times have increased our dependency on technology. Without Zoom or Google Meets, our life would’ve literally fallen apart. At some point, while our country was facing the eye of the storm, they were our only connection to the outside world. However, any technological platform provides a certain sense of anonymity that can be very easily manipulated and abused. A lot of people have figured that out and are using it either to dupe others or to carry out their perverted fantasies. Most recently, a man in UP was arrested for harassing hundreds of women by calling them and showing himself in obscene positions. He would then use these calls to blackmail these women. It’s absolutely disgusting.

The accused, identified as Shiv Kumar Verma, runs a stationery shop in Ballia, UP. Using seven mobile phones and several sim cards, he made these obscene video calls to nearly 370 women. Yes, 370 women. The first FIR was filed against him in February of last year but no effective action was taken and he continued to harass and blackmail women.

Reportedly, Shiv’s modus operandi for each call has been the same. After concluding his work at the shop, he would pick a random phone number and check its registration details on True Caller. If the phone number belonged to a woman, he would video call via WhatsApp and show himself in obscene positions.

A police officer said, “He [Verma] used to undress himself and start a conversation using a video screen recorder. Before women could understand and snap the call, he used to shoot it. Women who used to snap the call were harassed repeatedly. Those who warned of complaint were blackmailed that the screen video recording would be sent to their in-laws and husband. As a result, many victims did not report the matter to any authority and changed their phone numbers.” The police have charged him with the relevant sections of the IPC like stalking, fraud and blackmail.

This man tormented and blackmailed 370 women. What’s extremely ironic is that he used an app that is usually used to keep men like him at bay. This is just sickening.
