In a recent incident that has sparked widespread public condemnation, a case has filed under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) after a compromising video of transgender individual Dolphin Ayan went viral on social media. Ayan, who resides in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, reported the incident to the authorities, and an FIR lodged at the Hashtnagri police station.
Background of the Viral Video Case
Ayan stated in her complaint that she abducted at gunpoint in Shabqadar in 2023 by a man named Imran and six of his associates. According to Ayan, the group forced her into a room, where a compromising video recorded against her will. Ayan alleged that the video then used to blackmail her, a situation that took a darker turn on October 29, 2024, when she discovered the video circulating widely on social media platforms.
Transgender Community Demands Protection
The release of Dolphin Ayan’s video has led to renewed calls for government action to protect transgender individuals from cyber harassment and physical violence. Many activists and members of the transgender community have raised concerns about the lack of safeguards for their safety and dignity in society. They are urging authorities to take stronger measures to combat cybercrimes that target vulnerable individuals, including transgender persons.
Legal Action and Ongoing Investigations
Law enforcement officials at Hashtnagri police station confirmed that the case actively investigated. Efforts are underway to apprehend Imran and his accomplices in connection with the incident. The police are focusing on enforcing PECA to ensure accountability for the alleged cyber harassment and blackmail. Ayan expressed hope that justice will be served, as the incident has taken a serious toll on her personal and family life.
Public Outcry Over Cyber Harassment of Transgender Individuals
The incident has sparked significant public backlash, with many on social media condemning the crime and advocating for greater protections for transgender individuals. Many are calling for stricter enforcement of the Cybercrime Act to prevent further incidents of cyber harassment, blackmail, and threats to vulnerable communities.
This incident underscores the importance of cybercrime laws like PECA in protecting citizens against digital abuse and highlights the need for greater security for marginalized communities in Pakistan. The case will continue to unfold as authorities pursue those responsible for the viral spread of Dolphin Ayan’s video.
