The accused (name not disclosed) was arrested from Paradip in Odisha on September 20, police said.
The man, who got married in 2007, had moved a family court in Visakhapatnam (where he lives) seeking dissolution of the marriage following disputes with the wife, while the latter filed a case demanding maintenance from him.
As the court gave decision in wife's favour, he filed an appeal. In the meantime he tried to pressurise the wife and her brother to make a compromise and withdraw the case.
The accused was arrested from Paradip on September 20. A case has been registered under the relevant sections of the Information Technology Act.
