A 24-year-old man was arrested in Odisha's Kendrapara district for allegedly posting obscene photos and abusive messages on the Facebook account of a 27-year-old married woman, police said today.
Anil Rout of Dhumata village had become friends with the woman over Facebook and had been sending suggestive messages and obscene photos to her, the woman said in her FIR filed with police.
