In what is considered to be a case of revenge porn, the Njarakkal police arrested a man on the charge of raping his estranged wife and circulating a video on social media.
The 32-year-old accused, originally from Aluva NAD, allegedly lured his estranged wife to his rented house at Malippuram with the promise of letting her see their two minor children staying with him on March 19.
“He then forced himself on her and captured it on the mobile and circulated it on social media in revenge for leaving him,” said Sangeeth Job, Sub Inspector, Njarakkal police.
The accused has been charged under IPC Section 375 (rape) and various provisions of the IT Act. He was produced before the Njarakkal Judicial First Class Magistrate and remanded.
