Mangalore Today News Network

Bengaluru, July 24, 2025: In yet another instance of voyeurism disguised as “content,” a 19-year-old man has been arrested in Bengaluru for allegedly uploading secretly recorded videos of women on Instagram, tagging them as part of ‘Bangalore Night Life’.

The accused, identified as Dilavar Hussain MD, ran an account under the name ‘Dilbar Jaani-67’. He is a resident of Byrathi in Kothanur and originally hails from Manipur. According to the police, Hussain works as a delivery agent for a major food delivery company.

The Ashok Nagar Police, who were monitoring social media platforms, found the content on the Instagram account to be obscene and registered a suo motu case.

Police said the videos, most of which were filmed from behind, showed women walking in public spaces including MG Road, Brigade Road, Church Street, Koramangala and Indiranagar. Sub-Inspector Nabi Saab of Ashok Nagar Police Station filed the complaint.

The FIR notes that Hussain uploaded these videos to attract followers. He has been booked under Section 67 of the Information Technology Act, which pertains to the publication or transmission of obscene material in electronic form.

Police said Hussain admitted to filming and uploading over 14 such videos in the past three months. Authorities have initiated a request with Instagram to take down the account. He has not yet been produced before the court.

This arrest comes close on the heels of a similar case from earlier this month.

On July 10, Bengaluru Police arrested a 26-year-old man, Gurudeep Singh, after a woman raised an alarm on Instagram about a social media page that uploaded videos of women without their knowledge or consent. The videos were shot in areas like Church Street and Koramangala and were framed as part of the city’s “street life.
