Sending offensive messages to women
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: A 26-year-old man was arrested for creating a fake Instagram account in the name of a woman and sending offensive messages to her and other women. The man, Shareek Khan Naeem Khan (26, Aref Colony) was arrested by the City Chowk police on Friday.
The woman, Sakshi (name changed), had met Khan about a year and a half ago and they had become friends. However, their friendship ended when Sakshi's family found out about it and asked her to stay away from Khan.
