A woman, who had befriended a man while playing the excessively popular PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG), was shocked when she discovered that the man allegedly clicked obscene, when she was asleep in the bedroom. These images were sent to her relatives and husband. A complaint was lodged against him at Sangvi policeon Monday.The FIR says that the 35-year-old woman — an IT professional — often indulged in PUBG multi-player battles, through which, she got in touch the 25-year-old Raja Mehra. They soon began talking on phone. In October 2019, the accused told the techie that he had found a job in. Since Mehra “did not have any money” and would be “entering a strange city”, he requested her to accommodate him temporarily to which she agreed.On October 20, 2019, Mehra arrived at the railway station at 5 am and directly reached the woman’s house. She arranged his bedding in the living room and proceeded to her bedroom to sleep. The accused took advantage of the situation; allegedly he disrobed her and clicked obscene pictures. When the woman woke up at 1 pm, she realised she had no clothes on.She hastily got dressed and barged into living room, demanding an explanation from the 25-year-old. He confessed to taking her nude pictures. Mehra soon returned to Jharkhand and began pressing her for money in return of pictures. When she did not assent to his demands, he sent the picture to her husband and relatives on October 26, 2019. “I was extremely low since then. It is out of shame that we did not approach the police initially. However, the 25-year-old kept on badgering us; on February 14, he sent my picture to my husband again and also threatened that he would do the same with my daughter,” she said, adding, “This is when we approached the police.”Ajay Bhosale, police inspector () of Sangvi police station told Mirror that the 25-year-old has been booked undersection 354(D) (stalking) and 506 (criminal intimidation).
