"Shubham Kansal, 22, was arrested from his Dilshad Garden residence yesterday for sending offensive messages through communication service under the Information Technology Act," a senior police official said.
During interrogation, Kansal said he and the complainant were classmates in a prestigious school. Kansal is pursuing his final year at a law school with a UP based university at present.
"Kansal wanted to get close to the woman. However, things never worked out his way. In February this year, he uploaded her mobile phone number on a fictitious facebook account inviting everybody for friendship. He also juiced up the facebook account with provocative photographs, due to which she received many unsolicited phone calls," said Sanjay Kumar Jain, DCP Crime and Railways.
She enquired and found out that her number was uploaded on a facebook account opened in some other woman's name. She visited the account and found some raunchy and provocative photographs of an unknown woman.
"Her telephone number was given as the contact number and the facebook account displayed the invitation of friendship to all those interested. Totally harassed, in March she approached the Crime Branch," Jain said.
