Despite the advisory issued by police against circulation of obscene contents and videos on social media, the crime continues in various parts of the State including the capital city.
Just a few days after a youth was arrested on the charge of threatening a girl to upload their sex video on social media, the Commissionerate police have arrested another youth for allegedly posting obscene photos of his girlfriend on the internet.
The accused was identified as Saroj Das (23), a dweller in the Salia Sahi slum in the city. The Nayapalli police arrested Saroj on Thursday on the basis of a complaint lodged by the victim against him.
According to reports, Saroj and the girl were in love with each other following their first meeting. They entered into physical relationship after Saroj proposed the girl for marriage. He had shot obscene photos of the girl. He posted the photos on social media to take revenge after the couple had a heated argument a few days ago and parted company. The girl approached the Nayapalli police after her obscene photos went viral on social media. The police launched investigation into the matter and arrested Saroj from his home and seized a mobile phone used for uploading the obscene photos. Saroj was forwarded to court following interrogation.
