Jammu Tawi: In a major breakthrough in a sensitive cybercrime case involving online blackmail and obscenity, the Police Station CICE Jammu has filed a chargesheet against two accused, including one currently based in Dubai, for creating a fake Instagram profile and harassing a young woman online.
The case (FIR No. 04/2025) was registered on January 31, 2025, after a complaint was received from the mother of the victim, alleging that unknown individuals had created a fake Instagram profile using her daughter’s identity.
