The Cyberabad Police today arrested a man from Secunderabad railway station for allegedly blackmailing a woman by demanding Rs 4 lakh from her after threatening to upload her nude pictures on social media.
The accused, identified as Shaik Azad, created a fake Facebook account in the victim's name and sent her nude pictures and demanded Rs 4 lakh, police said.
"The accused threatened the victim that if she does not pay the amount, he will upload her photos on social media after which she lodged a complaint on October 23," an official release said.
According to police, Azad, who belongs to Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh, collected the private pictures of the complainant from her friend's laptop and saved them in his phone.
