AHMEDABAD, Feb 9 (TOI) : Women are biggest victims of cyber-revenges but tables seem to be slowly turning. A Vadodara based youth was mortified when he came across his fake Facebook profile with many of his objectionable pictures like taking a shower at a hotel posted on the social media account.

The youth had broken up with his girlfriend recently and suspects that she may have posted his 'exposing' pics to avenge the break-up. While the youth has not reported the case with the local police, he along with his family approached few legal firms specializing in cyber laws in Ahmedabad to explore possible remedial action in the case including blocking the account, said sources.
