To add to the woes of Soumya (name changed), a victim of a spurned lover's revenge, her career with the Intelligence Bureau (IB) has been shot down abruptly. Soumya had filed a complaint against her former boyfriend for uploading videos and photos on the Internet of the two having sex, which came to be infamously known as the Karavali-MMS scandal, after the accused refused to break off their relationship.

Love sex aur dhoka: The story that MiD DAY carried in it's January
12 edition. The girl had then filed a complaint against her former
boyfriend for uploading videos and photos on the Internet of the
two having sex, which came to be infamously known as the
Karavali-MMS scandal
That controversy has supposedly come back to haunt her after she applied for the post inspector at the Central Intelligence Bureau six months ago and was selected.
Dashed hopes
She received her appointment letter, but did not mention about the case and even the IB officials did not check her credentials. It was only later that they conducted a background check and realised their mistake.
In what seems to be a move to avoid further embarrassment, the department issued a notice to Soumya stating that she had been rejected after a background check revealed that her conduct, while she doing her post-graduation from Karnataka University, was questionable.
"The post she was selected for is very crucial and candidates should be of high caliber in all aspects," said a senior officer from the department.
Disastrous liaison
The victim had been in a relationship with Ashwath Goankar, a businessman from Dharwad, but it soured in 2010. Goankar was not willing to break it off, but nonetheless Soumya went ahead and changed her number and kept a distance from him. Spurned by her actions, he decided to tarnish her image and uploaded the clips on the Internet in early this year.
Meanwhile, Goankar was picked up from his hometown Dharwad by the Cyber Crime Police and produced before the court. He has been charged under Sections 66-67 of the IT Act among others. The accused moved a bail application stating that he needed to attend his father's death anniversary on July 15.
Earlier complaints by Soumya against Goankar were futile as the accused hails from an influential family and he avoided police action this long by using his influence in the local level. However, though action has been taken against her tormentor after she filed a complaint with the cyber crime cops this time, her career has suffered and she has to bear the brunt of his misdeeds. Soumya has approached the court questioning the cancellation of her appointment, but it has all been in vain.
