The family and friends of Taruna Aswani, who took to Facebook to expose the pervert who threatened to make public her private photos and videos, have launched a parallel investigation into the matter. They have, in fact, tracked the blackmailer&rsquo;s IP address to the United States.
Aswani (26), originally from Juhu in Mumbai, is currently working as a physical therapist in Maryland, USA. After the pervert&rsquo;s threat, Aswani took him on, posted the message she received on Facebook, and sought help in nabbing the criminal. The post went viral on social media.

According to a report in <a href="http://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/mumbai/crime/Blackmailed-Juhu-womans-friends-family-launch-parallel-probe-track-IP-address-to-US/articleshow/55083691.cms" target="_blank">Mumbai Mirror</a>, Aswani spoke to her parents and boyfriend, after which she approached the Maryland police and the FBI too. Mirror quoted Stas Estko, Aswani&rsquo;s Polish boyfriend, as saying that many of her family and friends have come forward to help her. &ldquo;Though we have traced the blackmailer&rsquo;s digital footprint to the US through the help of some of our friends, we can&rsquo;t be sure until this is verified by the investigating agencies in the US,&rdquo; Estko said.
The paper also carried a quote from Aswani, in which she said she was grateful for the offers of help she received online. &ldquo;A lot of good Samaritans who are IT experts have offered to help. They say I can contact them whenever I need to and they can help me trace this criminal.&rdquo; Aswani also added that she was glad her story touched a cord with women around the world. &ldquo;A lot of women have written to me detailing the harassment they have faced online. They also say my Facebook post gave them the courage to approach the police. I&rsquo;m happy that the post has served some purpose.&rdquo;
