An advocate has been booked over allegations that he misused Apple’s AirDrop feature to obtain private images from female lawyers at a court in Kalyan. The case centers on claims that sensitive data was transferred from iPhones without the women’s knowledge.
According to the available details, the accused allegedly gained access to the phones by telling colleagues he needed them to download court orders. Investigators believe he then used that opportunity to move personal content, including photographs, from the devices.
The alleged activity is said to have taken place inside the court premises over multiple days, raising concerns about privacy and trust in a professional legal setting. The matter also highlights how everyday wireless sharing tools can be abused when users hand over their phones, even briefly.
The case has drawn attention because it combines a workplace privacy breach with the suspected misuse of a common Apple feature. Authorities have filed charges, and the incident is likely to renew discussion around phone security, consent, and digital safety in public institutions.
