The morphed material was subsequently uploaded on social media platforms. The accused allegedly went a step further by sharing the posts and links with the woman’s relatives, friends and family members while attempting to blackmail and harass her.

Following the harassment, her husband, an Army Major, personally conducted preliminary open-source intelligence (OSINT) research to trace the digital footprint of the perpetrators. Using OSINT tools, he reportedly identified several social media links and account details allegedly used by the accused.

He later approached the Hyderabad Cybercrime police and lodged a complaint. Cybercrime officials have registered a case and are examining the digital evidence to identify the persons behind the accounts.
