Police have swiftly arrested an accused who uploaded a woman’s photo from the MIDC Waluj area on a fake Instagram ID and spread defamatory content about her. The complainant woman had filed a report at the police station on November 19. According to the complaint, an unknown person had created a fake ID and started defaming the woman by posting insulting comments and stories about her.
