Ahmedabad Sexual Assault Case: Police Find Accused Operated Eight Instagram Accounts

Police investigating a sexual assault complaint by a 26-year-old woman in Ahmedabad have found that the accused, Kasam Samsud Hasan Ansari, allegedly operated eight Instagram accounts under different names.

Ansari was arrested after the woman alleged that he took her to a hotel on the promise of marriage and sexually assaulted her. Investigators are now examining whether he used the multiple social media profiles to contact other women.

Mobile Phone Examination Reveals Eight Accounts

During questioning, police learnt that Ansari worked in Chennai, where he was involved in decorative button and glass design, known as Kaaj Button work.

Investigators seized his mobile phone and examined its contents. The probe reportedly revealed eight separate Instagram accounts registered or operated under different names.

Police are investigating whether these accounts were used to approach women online and whether other women may have faced similar circumstances.

Police Probe Possible Links to Other Women

Investigators are checking for additional complainants and examining whether Ansari used the accounts to establish contact with other women.

The findings remain part of the ongoing investigation. Police have yet to establish whether the multiple accounts were linked to any other alleged offences.

The case centres on the complaint filed by the 26-year-old woman, while investigators continue to examine the accused’s social media activity for possible leads.
