A 27-year-old man hailing from Andhra Pradesh has been arrested by CB-CID police on charges of creating obscene webpages on a social networking site.
"Acting on a complaint from city-based NGOs that certain community pages portrayed girl children in a 'derogative manner', the abusive profiles and community pages were blocked immediately with cooperation from Facebook," the CB-CID said in a release.
"Two cases were registered in Cyber Crime Cell of the CB-CID under provisions of the Information Technology Act 2000 and investigation revealed that Yadava Manikanta from Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh had created such obscene Facebook community pages," it said.
The CB-CID special team arrested the man at Tirupathi yesterday and seized the incriminating material evidence. He was brought to Chennai and remanded to judicial custody, the release said.
