    What's the story

    A 25-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly creating fake profiles of a Class 8 student, sending her obscene messages, and posting her morphed nude photographs on social media, police said on Friday.

    The accused wanted to take revenge on the girl after being rebuked by her for allegedly harassing her friend, whom he had met on social media, in a similar manner.

    Target

    The accused has targeted six girls so far

    "The accused identified as Bharat Khatar, did his graduation in B.Com Honours from Delhi University via correspondence and had been working with an event management company for the last two years," the police said.

    "The accused has targeted six girls so far. One of the six lodged a complaint against him in Faridabad," they said.

    Details

    Investigation was initiated on the complaint of the girl's mother

    "An investigation was initiated on the complaint of the minor girl's mother who alleged that her daughter's fake Instagram profile was created by the accused," police said.

    "She told the police that the accused had been sending her daughter obscene posts, messages, and photographs from the fake profile and stalking her," a senior police officer said.

    Information

    Case registered under relevant sections of the POCSO Act

    A case was registered at KM Pur Police Station under Section 354D (stalking), 509 (word, gesture, or act intended to insult a woman's modesty), 354A (sexual harassment and punishment for sexual harassment), and other relevant sections of the POCSO Act, according to police.

    Investigation

    Investigating team analyzed IPs to zero in on the suspect

    Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Atul Kumar Thakur said, "As part of the investigation, letters were sent to Facebook, seeking details about the fake Instagram account."

    "According to technical inputs, the investigating team analyzed the IPs and zeroed in on the suspect," he said.

    "After due verification, the accused was apprehended from his residence at NIT colony in Faridabad on Thursday," he added.

    Incident

    Initially, the accused had targeted the girl's friend

    "Investigations revealed that at first the accused targeted the victim's friend after contacting her through social media," police said.

    "He sent her obscene messages, following which she had heated arguments with him via Whatsapp calls. She then narrated the entire incident to the Class 8 girl who rebuked the accused and warned him about not indulging in such acts," the officer said.

    Interrogation

    Accused also asked for sexual favors from the minor girl

    "To take revenge on the Class 8 girl, he created three fake accounts in her name on Instagram and posted her morphed nude photographs on those accounts. The accused also asked for sexual favors in order to delete the photographs," the officer said.

    "During interrogation, the accused disclosed that earlier he had a heated argument with the victim's friend on Instagram," he said.

    Case

    Case was lodged against accused previously for a similar demeanor

    "To take revenge on the girl, he created her fake profiles on Instagram. Thereafter, he sent her abusive contents, nudes, threatened and abused her," he said.

    "The Faridabad Cyber Police Station had lodged a case earlier against him for creating a fake profile of another girl," he said.

    Two mobile phones used to create fake profiles have been recovered from the accused.
