The Story in Brief
A woman accountant in south Bengaluru received repeated obscene video calls from an unknown man after replying to a 'hi' message on WhatsApp. The Times of India reports that Shalini (name changed) was asleep when an unknown number messaged her at 1:49 am on July 29. She ignored it initially but later answered video calls over two days. The caller allegedly exposed himself on camera. A similar case was reported on July 14 where an 18-year-old girl was lured via a fake parcel delivery story.
The Indian Opinion
This story, reported by Times of India, adds to a pattern where casual chat messages become entry points for harassment. The narrative often blames the victim for responding or ignores police action. But the fault lies squarely with the perpetrators. Watch for how quickly the police track the number and whether they enforce existing cyber laws. If the accused is not caught within a week, the system has failed again.
