Police in Bihar’s Katihar district arrested a man accused of uploading his wife’s private videos and photographs to the internet without consent, investigators said Friday.
The woman filed a complaint after discovering intimate material circulated on social media accounts and messaging groups operated by acquaintances.
Cybercrime officers traced uploads to devices registered in the husband’s name, supporting charges under India’s privacy and IT statutes.
Activists said the arrest highlights persistent revenge-sharing cases despite stronger legal language criminalizing non-consensual intimate imagery.
The victim is receiving counseling while platforms are asked to purge mirrored copies under emergency takedown procedures.
Magistrates remanded the accused to custody as police examine whether others paid for access to the files.
