A Telugu and Kannada television actor filed a sexual harassment complaint against a man who allegedly sent obscene messages and videos to her on Facebook.
Acting swiftly on the complaint,the Annapoorneshwarinagar police arrested the accused, identified as Naveen,on November 1.
According to the police,nearly three months ago,the accused sent a friend request to the actress using the Facebook ID ‘NAVEENZ’.When she did not accept it,he began sending her vulgar messages through Messenger.
Despite the actress warning him to stop,the accused allegedly continued to send obscene content,including explicit photos and videos of his private parts,from multiple fake accounts after being blocked.
The actress,who has acted in several Kannada and Telugu serials,decided to meet the accused near Nandan Palace,Nagarabhavi,around 11.30 am.on November 1,to warn him in person.
However,when the harassment resumed soon after,she approached the police and filed a complaint.
Based on her complaint,the Annapoorneshwarinagar police registered a case under relevant sections of the law relating to sexual harassment and obscene acts in electronic communication.
