Man Arrested for Creating Fake Instagram Profile to Harass Ex-Employee
A 37-year-old man named Mohammad Sahid got into a disagreement with a woman who used to work for him.
She asked him to pay her money that he owed her.
Sahid became upset and decided to get revenge.
He took an old photo of her and created a fake Instagram account.
On this fake account, he posted mean and inappropriate things about her to try and ruin her reputation and bother her friends.
The police were able to track down where the fake account was being used and arrested Sahid in Haryana.
They also took the phone he used to make the fake profile and are checking if he has done this kind of thing before.
