ALAPPUZHA: Police have arrested a man for sending obscene videos and nude pictures to a 14-year-old girl in Alappuzha. Ananthu (23), a native of Vallikunnu, Alappuzha, had been harassing the girl over the phone after getting acquainted with her through WhatsApp. Police registered a case against the accused under the POCSO Act. He was arrested for sexual harassment.

The girl's parents had bought her a phone for online studies. The girl later joined a Whatsapp group started by the accused. The accused began chatting with the girl through the group and later invited her to a personal chat. The accused then began to send obscene videos in the personal chat. When the girl attempted to back out from the chat, the accused threatened to morph the girl's photo and spread the photo over social media. He thus forced her to chat and continued sending her nude photos.

The accused even went on to create problems in the girl's online class. The girl's parents then lodged a complaint with IG Nishanthini and Rural SP Divya Gopinath. Following this, a cyber police team, led by SP Divya Gopinath, carried out an investigation and arrested Ananthu.
