"Due to that morphed video, the complainant was not able to get work"
Social media influencer Anjali Arora has filed a defamation case over the leaked explicit video that was purportedly of her.
The defamation case is against several media outlets and YouTubers for allegedly tarnishing her reputation.
The investigation comes over a year after the clip began circulating online.
In August 2022, a video featured a woman lying on a bed. The video then cuts to the woman and a man having sex.
Throughout the 10-minute video, the woman’s face was seen and many believed the woman was Anjail.
Anjali Arora tearfully broke her silence on the matter, insisting that the woman in the sextape was not her. She added that her face had been superimposed onto the woman’s body.
She also said her parents filed an FIR.
The explicit video is now under investigation over a year later and according to the FIR, Anjali was not able to take legal action because she was participating in Lock Upp.
The FIR said: “Due to that morphed video, the complainant was not able to get work, as her reputation was tarnished and that she was in a mental stress and trauma.
“All media houses were cornering her and preventing the complainant from giving work.
“Many reputed social media websites, newspapers, and big magazines were publishing articles on the applicant’s morphed video which was very distressful for the applicant’s reputation as a woman.
“The complainant was not able to make eye contact with her family and friends due to that morphed video.
“All the articles, which were published, by reputed publication houses have also been annexed here.”
The FIR went on to say that “not a single action has been taken by the cyber cell to remove that morphed video from social portals”.
“Since the last few months, the complainant has been regularly seeing explicit and obscene material on her Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Instagram.
“Such videos are in the public domain and damage and devastate the image.”
“The complainant is traumatised by receiving these videos and requests your good self to kindly take proper and prompt action against these unknown persons as her reputation, as well as the reputation of her family, was in danger.
“If no action is taken against these unknown users, that would cause irreparable damage.
“We had a word with the cyber cell officer to pursue legal action on the complainant’s previous complaint, which was filed in the complainant’s friend’s name.
“He advised us to file a fresh complaint by complainant only. So, here I am giving you a fresh complaint again.
“It is, therefore, most respectfully requested to register FIR against the accused persons and remove the morphed video from online portals like Google, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Telegram, etc.”
