Krishnan took the video and completely blurred out the victim’s face and body, highlighting the man’s face in it. She has since then been circulating the video with the man’s face clearly visible, asking people to help nab the rapist.
According to her tweet, today morning she spoke to NDTV and also gave the channel her version of video to be telecast so that the assaulter is traced and booked.
On her Facebook page, Ms Krishnan writes she was alerted to the horrific video by a young man who received it on WhatsApp. “On checking the videos, I found it was not enacted but a true video which some ‘sicko’ while raping had recorded it, in all probability to threaten and intimidate the victim. The original video is with me which 8 mins and 4 mins long. I cut short the video, protected the identity of the victim…but the rapist is for you to see.”
She adds this: “If you know of anybody who has received any such videos, inform me at sunitha_2002@yahoo.com.”
