The Chatuhshrungi police have booked a man from Chennai for allegedly hacking an email address and sending obscene mails and photographs of a 24-year-old woman from Baner to her fiancé.
The suspect has been identified as Vijay Varadrajan from Chennai. The woman filed a complaint in this regard and based on that the police applied Section 292A (printing of grossly indecent or scurrilous matter or matter intended for blackmail) of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 66, 66(a), 67 and 67(a) of the Information Technology Act against the suspect.
Police Inspector Bhimrao Tele from the Chatuhshrungi police station said the incident took place in a span of one month starting from March 26.

"The suspect changed the settings on the e-mail account belonging to the woman's father and sent various obscene e-mails, messages, photos of the woman to her fiancé and also to her mobile phone," Tele said. "Upset over the continuous obscene e-mails and messages, the woman finally decided to lodge a police complaint against the suspect. He will be arrested soon."
