A cyber-crime court has handed an eight-year sentence to a man for posting his ex-fiancée’s indecent photos on social media and directed him to pay Rs500,000 in damages.
As per reports, the case had been registered by the woman in the FIA’s cyber-crime wing. During the hearing, the woman told the court that she had been engaged to the suspect Sajjad two years ago but the engagement broke off after her family learnt about his criminal history. Sajjad, in anger, forced her to come to his house where he took pictures of her without clothes and then blackmailed her with them.
The suspect threatened to kill her, post her indecent pictures on social media, and make them viral on the Internet.
Later, when the woman got married to another man, Sajjad uploaded the same pictures on Facebook and shared them with her husband as well as her relatives, resulting in her marriage to end.
Sajjad was sentenced eight-year jail and fine of Rs 500,000 in accordance with Pakistan’s Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, 2016.
