When a person sends you dirty messages online, what are you supposed to do? The majority feels that the answer to it is ‘ignore it’, or at least that is what they do.
But that’s not always the solution.
Giving it back to the faces of these filthy people is what Prerna Pratham Singh opted to do. When a guy named Raushan Kumar sent her a vulgar message about woman’s genitals on Facebook, she didn’t hold back.
She replied to his message with audacity and then took a screenshot of that conversation and posted it on her wall. And it went viral. Before the man could understand anything, everyone came to know about it.
Raushan tried to shrug it off by saying that his profile was hacked, but it was too late. This was not the only message he had sent her, according to Prerna, he had been continuously sending her messages for a couple of days, but it was on 17th May when he crossed all the lines.
She is being applauded by everyone on the social media for her efforts, including Muktesh Chander, Special Commissioner in Delhi traffic Police. She has already filed an FIR against Raushan Kumar, on the grounds of sexual harassment on social media. The cyber crime department is now looking into this matter.
The screenshot which she had posted on Facebook has been taken down by the website, citing nudity in the content. Prerna is trying to get in touch with the Facebook authorities to resolve this issue and explain the gravity of this situation.
But no matter what, the whole of social media is standing in support of Prerna. And perhaps this bold step by her will help a long way in stopping such creeps from harassing people online.
Here is a message from the lady herself for each one of us and also for those disgusting men who do these kinds of things as a hobby –
