Former lover sends morphed pictures to victim’s family; arrested

Cyber Crime officials arrested a man in Hyderabad on Wednesday for sending morphed photos and obscene videos to family members of an engineering graduate. 

The accused D Laxman Sai, from Indira Nagar in Moula Ali finished engineering recently. 

On June 24, a 21-year-old old victim, lodged a complaint with the Cyber Crime sleuths of Rachakonda alleging that emails containing obscene photos and videos were being sent to her father and fiancé.

She further stated that unknown people had called her father and threatened to ruin her life. 

Police looked into the email IDs and phone numbers used by the offender and found Laxman to be the one responsible for the offence. A Vivo V-7 mobile with two SIM cards and a laptop were seized from his possession.

Laxman later confessed to having committed the offence during interrogation. According to the police, the accused and the victim were friends with Laxman even proposing for marriage and the victim accepting it. However, when the victim found out about Laxman’s several girlfriends, she stopped talking to him.

Upon coming to know of the victim’s marriage getting fixed, Laxman decided to take revenge and began sending abusive messages to the victim’s fiancé and her family.

A case has been registered against Laxman under Sections 419, 354 (D), 506 of the IPC & Section 66 (D & E), 67 (A) of the IT Act.
