Hyderabad: An unidentified person who had been harassing a teenager to follow him on Instagram and also threatened the girl with dire consequences if she did not follow him, was booked by Madhura Nagar police of Hyderabad city. The suspect also threatened to circulate the morphed pictures of the girl on social media platforms.
Around a month ago, when the girl, 15, went to a stationery shop near their home, the suspect wearing a mask approached her. Showing her pictures in his mobile, he told her that he has more of her pictures and demanded her to follow him on instagram and threatened to make her morphed pictures public if she did not agree.
A few days later, when her brother had gone to the shop, the suspect caught him and threatened him of circulating the girl’s pictures. They did not inform their parents, but the girl called up the suspect over the phone and urged him to not harass her and her brother.
Further, a week ago, when the girl was on her way home from tuition, the suspect approached her and forcefully wrote his insta id in her palm, threatened her to follow him and sped away.
