While the victim quit the job recently, the accused, R Ashwin Vignesh (41), of Perumbakkam, approached her with a proposal and she allegedly rejected it. Infuriated over this, Ashwin sent obscene photos to the victim as well as her mother on Whatsapp. Based on a complaint, the Mylapore all-woman police registered a case and arrested Ashwin after investigation. He was remanded in judicial custody after two mobile phones were seized from him.
