It was the worst joke one could have played on her. A 23-year-old airhostess with a private airline was shocked to see her profile posted on Orkut, describing her as a “sex-struck woman”.

The person who got her on Orkut, popularly known as an online community that connects people through a network of trusted friends, also posted her neighbour’s phone number along with her profile. A photograph of the airhostess in her uniform was uploaded with her profile, and she was made a member of online communities soliciting sex. To make sure her friends and colleagues notice her, the person also connected her to communities of airhostesses, both national and international airlines, and multi-national companies.

Within no time, she was flooded with scraps (messages) “very obscene in nature”. Her neighbour, an official at Lok Sabha Secretariat, also started receiving “vulgar” calls. “For three weeks, men have been calling up these numbers asking to get in touch with my client. They have posted more than 250 messages in the scrapbook (on Orkut). The accused has also made her a member of several communities that involved prostitutes and sex workers,” the woman’s lawyer complained in a city court on Monday.
