'That's Not How...': Bengaluru Student After Non-Consensual Video Goes Viral On Instagram
The girl claimed that she was filmed without her permission, and despite her efforts to get the post removed and report the account, no action was taken.
A young girl has raised concerns on Instagram about an account that has been posting reels of women without their consent as they walk on Church Street and other parts of Bengaluru.
She claimed that she was filmed without her permission, and despite her efforts to get the post removed and report the account, no action was taken.
She further mentioned that she had been receiving vulgar messages from people because of the reel.
The page contains several videos of women walking on the road, without them knowing that they are being recorded. In fact, several women seemed surprised when they see camera pointed towards them.
'This person roams around Church Street pretending to film the 'chaos', but in reality, they just follow women and record them without their consent. It happened to me, and I'm sure many others don't realize they have been filmed too. Just because my account is public doesn't mean I consent to be filmed publicly," a woman posted on Instagram.
'That's not how consent works. And this isn't how you gain views or engagement on Instagram. I genuinely hope this person gets caught. Tagging @blrcitypolice @cybercrimecid and sharing this in the hope it reaches the right people," she added.
She urged the Bangalore and cyber crime police to help her get this taken down the account. The Bengaluru Police has not yet responded to the post.
