Lest you’ve been living under a cave, you would surely be familiar with the viral case of Ramesh, a condo resident who infamously yelled at a security guard for doing his job.
Rather ironically.
Indeed, as this meme of my colleague’s creation goes to show… doing your job well could actually backfire at times.
But if you’re really living under a cave because of certain lifestyle preferences, here’s a rough story recap courtesy of my foodie colleague Victor:
- Ramesh, the condo resident, is expecting visitors for Deepavali
- As it turns out, that particular condo Eight Riversuites has a rule that visitors need to pay S$10 to use the carpark
- Security guard tries to tell Ramesh of the rules
- Ramesh shouts irrelevant information like “I buy your f***ing property for $1.5million”, “You can do whatever you want to do, f*ck off,” and “This is Diwali weekend you know? There will be a lot of visitors visiting Indians.”
- Video uploaded to social media
- Netizen armchair detectives dug up information on Ramesh
- Ramesh receives 200 threatening calls
Long story short, Ramesh messed around with the wrong security guard…
And now he’s getting doxxed for it.
Police Report
As mentioned above, netizen aka “armchair detectives” managed to dig up some solid info on Ramesh, and swiftly spilt it all onto the net. And with his confidential information out in the open, Ramesh soon found himself the unwilling victim of some 200 calls and has since filed a police report.
Well, that escalated quickly.
But here’s the thing. As keen-eyed and Sherlock-esque as netizens may be, there’s bound to be some who aren’t as… proficient in the investigation department. Exemplification in case?
The following article headline.
Netizens Anyhowly Find $60K-a-Month Payslip of a Certain ‘Ramesh’ & Link It to The Condo Resident
As our kind and practical armchair detectives scurry around in a frenzy to unearth some good shit on Ramesh, all kinds of information have sprung up. And while some are certainly legitimate, some are, for lack of a better phrase… questionable.
Like this photo of a payslip, for example.
Supposedly belonging to Ramesh, the photo, which showed a monthly salary of more than S$50,000 and an additional monthly allowance of more than S$10,000, has been making its rounds around the Internet.
The payslip reportedly belongs to a Managing Director working at JP Morgan, and the details were allegedly even picked up by Chinese media.
But as it turns out, it was essentially wrong info disseminated, as the Ramesh in question does not actually hold that position in the company.
Because this is a “Managing Director”, while according to Ramesh’s LinkedIn profile, he is an “Executive Director”.
“Managing” and “Executive” are two very different words.
LinkedIn Profile ‘Leaked’
And apparently, the payslip was far from being the only wrong info disseminated. In the wake of Ramesh’s turmoil, the online horde has also dug up a LinkedIn profile allegedly belonging to him, and sent the link around online forums.
Photos of this particular Ramesh, which are believed to have stemmed from his LinkedIn profile, have since made their rounds around the net. Comments, however, haven’t been entirely complimentary.
However, it has been revealed to be a case of wrong identification, and the maligned LinkedIn profile has since been taken offline.
Poor Ramesh.
Doxxing Is Illegal By The Way
Before you jump on the bandwagon and start a new career as a professional Doxxer, do note that Doxxing is essentially illegal.
Yeah, it’s not all fun and games.
Doxxing involves the “publishing of someone’s personal information, such as photos, contact numbers, addresses, full names and employment details, with the intention to harass”.
If found guilty, offenders may face a fine of up to S$5,000 or a jail term of up to six months if the intention was to cause harassment. On the other hand, if the intent was to cause fear or incite violence, perpetrators might face a jail term of up to 12 months.
Well, you’ve been warned.
Happy Ending, Though
Lest you’ve just come out of your cave, here’s some new info you probably didn’t know: Ramesh has apologised to the guard, and apparently, they knew each other before the confrontation.
In addition, it’s also revealed that Ramesh has got his Singapore citizenship through his wife, who’s a Singaporean.
Not sure why this is relevant, but it does help me hit my word count.
