PETALING JAYA: The mother of cyberbullying victim Esha has lodged a police report against three people, including a woman, over a video and a live broadcast on her daughter, who allegedly ended her own life.
Puspa P Rajagopal said “one of them is a woman who is a former police officer”, Berita Harian reported.
The report was lodged against the trio for uploading a video as well as a live broadcast on A Rajeswary, better known as Esha.
“For the past week, I was informed by my children that a video and a live broadcast was uploaded by three individuals who spoke about Rajeswary,” Puspa told reporters after lodging a report at the Gombak police station this evening.
