CHENNAI: A man who befriended a woman on social media, staged a fake marriage and blackmailed her asking for money, was arrested by the Thirunindravur police on Wednesday. The woman lodged a complaint after discovering that the accused was writing porn stories on the internet based on real-life incidents.
In the complaint filed with the Chennai Police Commissioner’s office on Tuesday, Kumari (name changed) said that she was a divorcee, living alone in Villivakkam. In 2020, she received a Facebook friend request from a stranger named Vikram Vedagiri, a resident of Thirunindravur. She accepted the request and the duo began chatting on Facebook and subsequently on WhatsApp.
