# Zirakpur woman files FIR against call centre owner for threats, harassment 2026-08-20T04:37:57+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Zirakpur police have registered an FIR against call-care centre owner Nahar on VIP Road after a woman employee accused him of harassment, assault and threats to circulate her private photos. The complaint states that Nahar pressured her for a relationship, threatened to throw acid on her face, and later demanded Rs 20 lakh investment during a staff trip to Himachal Pradesh in April 2025. The woman, who joined the centre in May-June 2025, also alleged that Nahar contacted her current employer Jatinder, made remarks about her, and claimed to possess her private videos. He reportedly threatened to upload them on social media and ruin her life, then shared an audio recording of his conversation with Jatinder with her. One colleague was also affected by the harassment, according to the FIR. The case was registered under Sections 74, 79 and 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at Zirakpur police station. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The FIR invokes Sections 74 (assault or use of criminal force to a woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 79 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) and 351(2) (criminal intimidation) of the BNS. These provisions, introduced in the new criminal code that replaced the IPC in July 2024, carry penalties from imprisonment up to five years. The complainant's refusal to invest Rs 20 lakh after suspecting financial fraud points to a pattern that police may investigate separately under economic offence provisions. The next step will be for Zirakpur police to record statements from the complainant, the colleague mentioned, and the accused, after which a chargesheet would be filed within 60-90 days if evidence supports the allegations. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Led with the FIR registration and detailed the complainant's allegations without any government comment or verification, straight crime-report framing This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
