Ronisha Satti blames police inaction for suicide attempt over fake page harassment
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Jammu-based social media influencer Ronisha Satti, currently hospitalised after allegedly attempting suicide, has publicly accused the police of failing to act on her complaints about harassment by her former fiancé Prashant Sharma, who she claims ran a fake social media page to defame her. Speaking from her hospital bed on 29 May, Satti said her condition had stabilised but that she remained under medical observation.
What Satti Alleged
Satti alleged that Sharma used a fake social media profile to upload her personal photos and videos without consent, systematically damaging her reputation over a period of roughly one month. 'My entire reputation has been undermined using a fake page,' she said. 'I asked the police for help. I sought help from the Cybercrime Department; had they wanted, they could have tracked the IP address.'
She also said the harassment had extended to her family. 'My family has been targeted. My 12-year-old maternal cousin is also being subjected to abuse on social media,' she said, adding that the episode had been witnessed by 'the entire Jammu.'
The Relationship and Its Breakdown
According to Satti, she and Sharma were in a relationship and had been planning to marry when disputes arose. She described the fallout as a private matter that should have been resolved within the family. 'We were meant to get married, but had our share of fights, just like many other couples. But it did not mean that it would be taken to court or the police station,' she said.
She acknowledged that an FIR had been filed against her at some point but said she had cooperated fully with investigators and provided evidence. 'I did not take this extreme step when an FIR was filed against me. Even then, I was ready to face the situation,' she said.
Cybercrime Complaint and Alleged Police Inaction
Satti said she had visited multiple police departments over the course of a month seeking intervention, including the Cybercrime Department, but received no relief. She alleged that police failed to trace the IP address linked to the fake account despite having the technical capability to do so.
'How were my personal photos and videos with Prashant uploaded on social media? Why did the police not take any action at that time?' she asked. She cautioned that the absence of accountability created a dangerous precedent. 'This way, anybody would attempt suicide,' she said. 'Where would the girls go if the police do not take any action?'
What Satti Said About Due Process
The influencer stressed that she was being treated as a culprit without any trial or judicial finding. 'Just because he is not able to prove it, it does not mean that I can be abused using a fake social media page,' she said. She added that even when disputes reach court, they should be contested through legal process — not through anonymous online attacks.
Satti said the court would ultimately determine the truth of the allegations. As of 29 May, no official police response to her accusations had been reported. The case has drawn attention to gaps in cybercrime enforcement and online harassment protections for women in Jammu.
