Shivam Sahu 13 minute 14 second MMS Viral: In a disturbing case that has shaken Rewa district in Madhya Pradesh, police have arrested a man accused of recording and uploading a private video of his wife to an adult website. The accused, identified as Shivam Sahu, is also facing serious charges of dowry harassment and criminal intimidation.
Police officials said the couple was married on May 10, 2025. What was meant to be the beginning of a new chapter allegedly turned into months of pressure and conflict. According to the complaint filed by the woman’s family, the groom had demanded ₹3 lakh as dowry. While ₹2 lakh was reportedly paid during the wedding, the accused allegedly continued to harass his wife for the remaining ₹1 lakh.
Investigators revealed that the situation escalated in December 2025. The accused allegedly recorded a 13-minute private video of his wife without her consent. When she objected, police say he used the video to threaten and blackmail her. Authorities claim that he later uploaded the clip to an adult website and circulated it among relatives, causing severe emotional distress and humiliation to the victim.
After the video surfaced, the accused reportedly left Rewa and traveled to Mumbai in an attempt to evade arrest. However, on February 12, 2026, he allegedly returned to his in-laws’ residence in the Mauganj area. According to police sources, he arrived armed and threatened the family members. Local officers were alerted immediately and cordoned off the area before arresting him. No physical injuries were reported during the operation.
Rewa Police have registered a case under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Information Technology Act. The FIR includes charges related to dowry harassment, criminal intimidation, and the non-consensual sharing of private sexual content. Police have seized the accused’s mobile phone and other electronic devices. A forensic examination is underway to determine whether any additional digital material was recorded or circulated.
Officials say the case reflects a growing pattern of cyber exploitation and digital blackmail across India. Data from the National Crime Records Bureau indicates that cybercrimes against women have been rising steadily, with many cases involving the misuse of private content. Authorities have reiterated that sharing or forwarding such material is also punishable under the law.
Law enforcement agencies have urged citizens to act responsibly and avoid circulating sensitive content online. Survivors of digital abuse are encouraged to report incidents immediately through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal or by calling the cybercrime helpline at 1930.
The investigation is ongoing, and police officials have assured strict action under the law. The case stands as a grim reminder of how technology, when misused, can deepen personal trauma and compound domestic abuse.
