The police have arrested two brokers for sending objectionable messages by WhatsApp to an actor offering her money.
Jayalakshmi, who has acted in Tamil films including Nepali, Pirivom Sandippom and a few television serials, received WhatsApp messages from an unknown number.
Ms. Jayalakshmi met City Police Commissioner A.K. Viswanathan and lodged a complaint.
Following his instructions, the Anti-Vice Squad investigated the matter. Pretending to be prospective customers, a police team apprehended Murugaperuman and Kaviarasan of Virugambakkam.
The investigation revealed that the duo sent similar messages to several women. Besides, they elicited prospective customers through WhatsApp, calling it “relationship dating.”
Both were arrested and remanded in judicial custody.
