One night in November 2020, Sai Aravind, telephoned a friend. In the course of the two-hour conversation, the 23-year-old wept incessantly, almost unable to speak through his tears.
Aravind died by suicide the following day. According to the police, he was distressed after text messages about him had been sent to his entire contact list. “He sends his mother and sister to work as prostitutes and lives on the money earned by them,” said one text. Another said, “He sends his friends to have sex with his mother, wife and daughter.”
