THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A man accused of morphing and spreading pictures of film star Praveena has been arrested. Thiruvananthapuram City Cyber Police arrested the accused Bhagyaraj (24), a native of Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu, from Delhi. Bhagyaraj was also arrested in November 2021 for circulating Praveena's morphed pictures. But the accused, who was released on bail, continued to spread obscene pictures. Bhagyaraj,a computer science student in Delhi, was arrested again when Praveena came forward against this.

In 2021, Praveena lodged a complaint with Thiruvananthapuram Cyber Police against Bhagyaraj. According to the complaint, Praveena's photos were downloaded through social media and morphed into nude pictures and sent to acquaintances and friends.

Subsequently, a four-member police team made the arrest. Other such pictures were found on Bhagyaraj's laptop. The accused, who was remanded by the court, was released on bail before the completion of a month and continued to circulate the pictures again. Last month, the actress alleged that the person was continuing the crime by spreading obscene photos including that of her daughter. After this, the cyber police investigated the incident and arrested him again.
