Man Arrested for Circulating Girlfriend’s Objectionable Photos
A man and a woman met at a wedding and started chatting on social media during the Covid lockdown.
They planned to get married, but the man demanded a lot of money as dowry.
When the woman's family couldn't pay, the man refused to marry her and threatened to share private photos from their video calls.
He even asked for Rs 5 lakh to keep the photos private.
When she didn't pay, he shared the photos online.
The woman told the police, who found and arrested the man.
They also found the photos on his phone.
The man had even married someone else without telling the woman.
His brother, who helped him, is still missing.
A 39-year-old man was arrested for circulating objectionable photos of a woman after their marriage proposal was called off due to a dowry demand.
The man had promised to marry the woman but refused when her family couldn't meet the dowry demand of Rs 5 lakh.
He threatened to upload the photos on social media and later circulated them when she couldn't pay the money.
The woman filed a complaint on December 4, and the police arrested the man on December 10.
The police seized the man's smartphone, which contained the objectionable photos and videos, and his brother is absconding.
