Access of memory card in the custody of court “unfair and tragically shocking”: Survivor

Two days after a fact-finding inquiry conducted by the Ernakulam district and Sessions Judge found that the memory card containing the visuals of sexual assault of an actor was accessed illegally while in the custody of the Court, the survivor has said that it was “unfair and tragically shocking” that her privacy was violated in such a manner.

In a post shared in her Instagram page on April 13, she said that her right to privacy was violated through the multiple changes in hash value of the memory card, indicating unauthorised access, while in the custody of the court.

“It is very scary to know that my privacy is not currently safe in the court. When a victim faces such a horrible experience from the court which is supposed to strengthen her fight for justice, it is the ones who are hurt that get destroyed and the ones who inflicted that hurt who end up feeling proud,” she said.
