JAJPUR: Panikoili police on Saturday arrested a 27-year-old man for allegedly uploading obscene pictures of his former girlfriend and sharing them with her relatives on social media.
The accused, Ranjit Samal of Kantigadia-Malandapur village, was arrested following a complaint filed by the 23-year-old woman.
Sources said Samal and the woman were in a relationship and used to chat on WhatsApp. She had borrowed Rs 10,000 from Samal and refused to return it.
The woman ignored him and allegedly entered into a relationship with another youth.
This enraged Samal, who then uploaded the pictures he had clicked earlier on social media and also shared them with her relatives.
A case under relevant sections of IPC and IT Act has been registered against him.
