Kochi: Police on Sunday arrested a former production executive for allegedly posting “intimate” pictures of a prominent actress on social media and then attempting to blackmail her.

Kiran Kumar, 38, a native of Ottapalam currently residing at Uday-amperoor near Tripun-ithura, was arrested on her complaint.

According to police, he had worked as a production executive in 2008 and had a close relationship with the actor then.
