New Delhi: Acting on an internal probe by the Jawaharlal Nehru University into a porn clip involving its students, the police on Thursday registered a criminal case and also invoked sections of the Information Technology Act.
The JNU probe report claimed that the porn video was "a desperate act of a jilted lover", a final-year BA (Korean) student, who was out to "sabotage" the planned marriage of the woman he loved.
The main accused, identified as Janardhan Kumar, wanted to "blackmail her into submission", the report said.
The other accused is Balbir Chand, the 2009 ragging case whistleblower -- nine students were rusticated in that incident.
Kumar and Chand, a second-year MCA student, were expelled after the probe into the porn clip matter.
H G S Dhaliwal, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South), said: "We have registered a case against the two students after seeking legal opinion. There are 12 witnesses in the case. We have obtained the CD from the authorities."
According to the JNU probe report, Kumar used a Nikon camera and placed it in "automatic mode" to film the 25-minute sexually explicit video, which showed him with the woman, who was also a student, in one of the rooms of the Periyar Hostel.
Kumar took Chand's help to convert the clip into a video file, the report said, adding that Chand had been a loner ever since he had blown the whistle on the ragging case. The video file was recovered from his laptop.
During his deposition before JNU authorities, Kumar sought to blame the woman saying it was she who had procured the camera and filmed the entire act. Kumar destroyed the pen drive and the CD. The authorities were investigating who had uploaded the video clip on the Internet.
The inquiry report said "the video clip was most likely shot in April 2010 by Janardhan Kumar in order to sabotage... (her) ensuing marriage with an intention to blackmail her into submission, a desperate act of a jilted lover. Janardhan had experience in handling video cameras and knew how to edit video clips. His brother is a videographer and Janardhan possibly got these skills from him."
Kumar used this clip to blackmail the woman. "She informed her friends for help. She knew that the video file was available with Chand. The friends went to Chand's room and initially he denied the existence of any such file in his laptop. The file was discovered hidden safely in a folder that had several layers of protection. The laptop was locked in one of... (her) friends' room... Chand entered the locked room through the ventilator and tried to delete the file. When the room was opened, Chand was found inside and he had deleted the file. He was also beaten up by the other students," the report said.
