Kumar was in love with a 17-year-old girl from his neighbourhood and the police said that he was in the habit of videographing all their special moments. Later, three of Kumar’s friends started accompanying the duo and also shot their videos. This irked the girl, who stopped seeing Kumar.
The four managed to get hold of the girl a few days later and threatened to upload the videos on social media, but the girl was undeterred. So they went ahead and put up the videos. After the girl came to know of this, she, lodged a complaint with the Cantonment All Women police in Tiruchy. Based on this, cops registered a case under various Sections, including POCSO Act, and arrested Kumar on Thursday.
