Delhi: 37-year-old duped aspiring models via social media

NEW DELHI: A 37-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly duping aspiring models by creating a fake account of a model on a social media platform.
Mam Chand allegedly posed as a woman and collected nude and semi-nude photos of girls on the pretext of giving them a chance to audition for a web series, police said. A 17-year-old girl had complained that she was contacted by one Rashi Goel who had asked for her normal and semi-nude photographs for auditions.To get a break, the girl sent her nude photographs, but Goel kept asking for more. The girl then blocked her. Soon the complainant was contacted by two persons, who sent her the same photos, and threatened to make them viral if she didn’t pay them. Her obscene photographs were also sent to two friends.
“Four social media IDs, created allegedly to contact victims, were identified. Later, Mam Chand was held from outside his residence,” DCP (North) Anto Alphonse said. Chand was previously involved in a cheating case in Hissar in Haryana.
