A 21-year-old man from Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, has been arrested by the Cyberabad cyber crime police for cyber stalking. The accused, named M Ramakrishna, is a third-year B Tech student. He was involved in stalking a woman using morphed photos on social media.
The incident began when the victim reported receiving a message on Telegram from an unknown user. This person had accessed her personal information, including photos from her Instagram account. The police registered the case on October 22.
According to the police, the suspect initially pretended to be a friend. However, he soon started sending morphed nude images of the victim and threatened to share them with her friends and family. Despite the victim’s efforts to ignore the messages, the harassment continued.
