Preliminary investigation showed that he had cheated more than 20 women in Chennai, Coimbatore, Dindigul, Kanniyakumari and Malaysia.
The Cyber Crime Wing of the Central Crime Branch arrested a 25-year-old youth on charges of extortion.
The police took up investigation following a complaint lodged by a girl student. The youth got introduced to her over a social media. They continued their interactions on WhatsApp. At one point, he asked her to give her jewellery on the pretext of helping the underprivileged. Sensing trouble, she hesitated and refused to do so.
He threatened that he would disclose their WhatsApp conversations to her parents and forced her to give 13.5 sovereigns of jewellery and ₹17,000 in cash. The girl lodged the complaint with the police.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
