A youngster who created fake social media accounts of a woman with morphed images as profile pictures was arrested by the Rachakonda Cyber Crimes police. The accused was identified as Chinna Venkanna Rajashekar Reddy (26) from Madannapet of Saidabad. He created fake Instagram and Facebook accounts of the complainant and sent friend requests and abusive messages to her friends and family members, stating that she is having an affair with him. Based on her complaint, police took up the investigation, during which it was revealed that Reddy met the victim in his colony through a common friend and they became good friends. He later took some private images of her from her mobile phone without her knowledge. “After a while when she started avoiding him due to his rude behaviour, she bore a grudge against her. In May he created fake Instagram and Facebook accounts and posted her private and morphed images in those social media platforms and also sent messages to her friends and family members stating that she is having an affair with the accused with the ill intention of defaming her character,” police said.With the Prajwal Revanna sexual abuse case taking new twists every day, JD(S) State president and former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy on Monday appealed to the Hassan MP, who is his nephew, to return and subject himself to the legal process. This is the first time that such an appeal has been made by the family.
Amidst continuing protest over the murder of Anjali Ambiger in Hubballi, Home Minister G. Parameshwara, who visited the victim’s family on Monday, announced in a press conference that like the Neha Hiremath case, this too would be handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for inquiry.
