Growing web of stalker women alarm Punjab cops

The Times of India

MOHALI: Spurned lovers taking to cyber crime to take revenge is quite common but women taking centre stage in such malicious attempts has alarmed experts at Punjab state cyber crime branch. They have received at least three complaints over the last two weeks of women stalking, harassing and maligning men, with whom they were in a relationship at some point in time.

The three young women, accused in separate cases, had come from different cities of Punjab to Chandigarh for jobs. The common factor in all the cases is the element of rejection that pushed these women into cyber crime. "In one of the cases, the complainant told us that he got friendly with a young woman at his workplace in December 2010. Then for some reasons, they parted ways on mutual terms in July this year and since then he has been receiving threatening e-mails. He still had no clue that the woman he knew was behind this till he got an expert to match IP addresses," said state crime branch SSP Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh.

He said in another case, a young man was involved with a young woman for the past many years. Then they parted ways as both wanted to get married to someone else. Later, the young woman started sending threatening e-mails to the young man and that is when he approached them.

Speaking to TOI, the SSP said, "Over the last few weeks, we have come across cases which involve women in their 20s and 30s taking to cyber crime against a man they knew. If every three months we receive around 10 cases, then at least one of them involves a young woman. Lack of patience and supervision by a family elder are the chief factors behind such trend."
