Delhi: Man uploads woman's intimate photos to get wedding cancelled
What's the story
A Delhi-based man decided to upload on the internet intimate photos of a woman he had promised to marry, in order to get the wedding cancelled.
After his arrest yesterday, he told cops he simply wanted to date and dump her.
The woman started corresponding with him a year back; eventually their marriage got fixed.
But he developed cold feet and committed the crime.
Profiles
The engineer met the air-hostess online
The 29-year-old Vasant Kunj resident, Rajesh Kumar Suman, is a junior engineer employed with Military Engineer Services, Indian Government's defense infrastructure development agency.
The woman, 27, works as an air-hostess with an international airline. After chatting online, they met and soon their families fixed a marriage date.
Everything was going smoothly, when suddenly just four days before their engagement, Rajesh stopped contacting her.
Blackmail tactics
He created fake profiles in retaliation: Cops
When she tried to contact him, she found his phone switched off.
Somehow, she managed to get in touch, only to be told the marriage cannot happen and that she should forget the alliance.
The woman's family, not to take it lightly, pressurized him and his family.
In retaliation, he made fake online profiles in her name and then the woman's nightmare started.
Trauma
Soon she started getting calls from men asking for sex
She started getting calls from men asking her for sexual favors.
Perplexed, she asked a caller about the source of her number and was directed to some pornographic websites.
There she found her intimate photos, which Rajesh had clicked when they had met but she had no inkling about it, she alleged.
By now the terrified woman started fearing for her professional life too.
Police
Rajesh has been arrested, fake profiles stand deleted: DCP
That's when she roped in her parents and approached the police.
Consequently, Rajesh was detained for questioning and then arrested under IPC Sections 354 (molestation), 506 (threatening) and Section 67 of the IT Act at Welcome police station.
The woman had prodded him to delete the profiles, but he had refused, said DCP (northeast) Atul Kumar Thakur, adding the profiles now stand deleted.
