Surat: In an unusual case of online sexual behavior, Surat cybercrime caught a 29-year-old man who liked to chat with women posing as a woman. The accused production manager of Vadodara, Yatin Diora, had opened 286 Instagram accounts through which he used to have adult chats with women.
The accused, who worked in a multinational chemical and polymer manufacturer, got married in January and gave up his habit. But his checkered past soon caught hold of him when a woman from Surat came to haunt him 10 months later in August 2020.
“Such behavior developed over a short period of time can be a paraphilic disorder. The purpose of such a person is only for pleasure and not to harm anyone,” said psychotherapist Mukul Choksi.
An investigation into a complaint filed by a packaging businessman in March revealed that someone had created a fake Instagram ID similar to his wife’s name and was having an obscene chat with a friend of his wife. Initially, the police did not get any success but using cyber surveillance techniques, the police traced the accused.
Since the lockdown in 2020, the accused created 286 fake IDs using different variations of the name Bijal (name changed). He used pictures of girls in the display or profile picture to establish that he was a woman and then sent random friend requests to the women. If the woman accepts his request, he starts chatting as a girl and slowly turns into obscene talk. Although some of the women continued to chat, most stopped.
“The trouble started for him when he did the same to a Surat woman. The woman accepted his request thinking that the request was from her friend Bijal. YA Gohil, assistant commissioner of police, cybercrime, said when Diora started the sexual chat, she got suspicious.
The lady contacted her friend Bijal and asked why are you doing sexual chat. In return, Bijal told that her ID was different and informed her husband about it. After this they approached Cyber Crime and lodged a complaint.
