Hyderabad: A 25-year-old man, who lured women and exploited them, was arrested by the cyber crime police on Wednesday. Reportedly, he had stalked around 300 women through various social media accounts.
According to police, Padi Vinod Kumar used SIM cards which he procured illegally for his activities. He collected pictures of the women from their social media accounts, morphed them and uploaded them on porn websites and dating apps. He would then get in touch with these women in the guise of a security engineer in a private firm and offer help to delete these pictures for a sum.
The police arrested him based on a complaint by one of the victims from whom he demanded `40,000 for deleting her photos from all social media accounts and dating apps. She initially paid the amount, but after realising that she was cheated, she approached the cyber crime police.
