A man was arrested by the Brahmapur police on Wednesday on the charge of sending obscene pictures of a woman to her husband. The accused was identified by the police as Asish Padhi (26), a restaurant owner of the city.
As per reports, Asish used to visit a cyber café in Gandhinagar area of the city where he had opened several fake social media accounts from which he had sent objectionable pictures of a woman to her husband.
Sources said the victim allegedly being blackmailed by Padhi is a model and has a reputation as an actor and dancer of repute. The accused somehow managed to make friends with her through fake social media accounts and sent her nude pictures to herself and her husband as well.
Brahmapuir SP Saravana Vivek M said, “Following a complaint by the woman, our technical wing zeroed in on the accused and nabbed him.”
“He seems to be a habitual offender and has been nabbed twice before for similar activities,” said the SP.
Padhi even opened fake accounts in the name of his friends and used them to send obscene pictures of the woman.
