Man booked for posting woman’s lift CCTV clip

The complainant, a 35-year-old resident of the society, claimed the video led to gossip and humiliation in the building.

The incident occurred in January 2026 when she was in the building’s lift and was seen kissing a man.

On March 9, she allegedly overheard people discussing the video while returning from a nearby vegetable market and later learnt the clip had circulated on social media.

The woman alleged that the society chairman maintains a backup of the CCTV cameras but his son manages the footage due to the chairman’s lack of technical knowledge. She suspects that he accessed the recording and uploaded the clip.

Based on her complaint, the Sakinaka police registered a case under relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act. “We are investigating the case and verifying the complaint,” said a police officer.
