Man sends obscene pics to woman, arrested

Coimbatore: The city cybercrime police have arrested a 39-year-old man for sending obscene pictures to a woman.
Police identified the accused as B Karthikeyan, a resident of Kanakkampalayam near Udumalpet in Tirupur district. “Employed with a private firm, he was in the habit of making calls to random mobile phone numbers. If the call is answered by a woman, he would send pornographic images on her WhatsApp,” an officer said.
When a 40-year-old woman from the city received such obscene pictures from Karthikeyan, the officer said, she had severely warned him against the same. “He, however, kept sending pornographic images to her WhatsApp number. He also tagged such pictures on her Facebook profile.”
The woman lodged a complaint with city cybercrime police inspector Nirmala, who registered a first information report against Karthikeyan under Section 354 D (stalking) of the Indian Penal Code and Section 67 of the Information Technology Act.
The cybercrime police traced his whereabouts to Tirupur on Friday morning and nabbed him. Karthikeyan was produced before a judicial magistrate and lodged in jail under judicial custody.
