This is a video about the actions of Shajeer Basheer, a rapist. The video serves as evidence of how brutal his abuse was—including beating, pouring toilet water, and gaslighting.  
  
Trigger warning: For those who have gone through or are going through similar experiences, watching this may not be easy.  
  
In 2024, Vanaja Collective published a [\#MeToo](https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/metoo/) post about Shajeer Basheer, a photographer. It was his habit to call models to his studio and sexually exploit them. He did not even spare minors.  
  
When we at Vanaja Collective publish a [\#MeToo](https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/metoo/) post, it has two objectives:  
  
First, to warn other women and potential victims about his behavior.  
  
Second, to make it clear that this is a criminal act, that it should not continue, and that the rapist must be held accountable.  
  
Shajeer claimed, "I am an abuser, but I am trying to improve,"—a statement he used to gain sympathy and manipulate the women who had treated him with kindness. However, he never changed his abusive and manipulative behavior. He repeatedly continued his actions, exploiting at least three more women who trusted him. But this time, the survivor did not stay silent.  
  
Shajeer currently is remanded. On dec 19th 2021, he abused his ex, in 2025 he abused the next victim. He has also abused another ex around 2019. Currently all evidence is provided in these cases.This post serves as a warning to such rapists. Not every time will the survivors or we stay silent.
