Police officer Vipin Tamrakar told that Arvind Gupta had done this crime. A criminal mindset of stalking had taken over Gupta and thus he planned to use Facebook as a weapon in this. The criminal used to visit complainant’s house and was familiar with her. But suddenly, Puja’s relatives told her that they received many wrong and improper messages by her name through her FB Id.

They suggested to keep the passwords of social media accounts as alphanumeric so that hacker cannot easily hack Facebook accounts.

Logging out is the key aspect and one should not forget it. Cyber Police instructed to use privacy settings and be careful while posting personal images.
