Hyderabad: A hotel supervisor was arrested on Friday on the charge of harassing a woman techie by sending abusive and obscene messages and pictures to her. He hailed from Rajahmundry.
According to police, the techie had accidently left behind her mobile phone in an auto rickshaw while travelling on May 4 from the office to the hostel where she was staying. The phone had somehow found its way into the hands of the supervisor, identified as Sidharth. She bought a new phone and a new SIM after blocking the old number.
“On May 4, I lost my phone. I blocked the number and took a new SIM. The same night, I received a call from an unknown number and the man at the other side claimed that it was a wrong number.
The accused kept sending messages and also my picture, besides videos,” the techie said. He told the techie that he had found her lost phone and got all the details about her from the phone memory. He even abused her and demanded Rs 30,000 to not post her pictures on websites.
The woman lodged a complaint with the Madhapur police and the police traced the mobile to a star hotel at Gachibowli and arrested the accused.
Madhapur inspector R Kalinga Rao said basing on the complaint, the accused had been arrested under section 354 (D), 506 and 509 of IPC and sent him to judicial remand.
