Delhi: Twist in woman’s suicide after former fiancé approaches cops

Police said he then posted her morphed photos from the account in October last year.

The girl committed suicide in January.

A senior Delhi Police officer said, “The girl and her parents had filed a case against her ex-fiancé after the girl received the morphed photos from his account. A case was registered under sections of the POCSO Act and stalking in October-November and the man was arrested.”

He was later granted bail by a Delhi court, following which he went back to his home in Madhya Pradesh and lodged a complaint with the Crime Branch there, alleging that his account had been hacked.

“The man claimed he didn’t send those photos and someone had hacked his social media account,” said a police source.

During investigation, Madhya Pradesh police zeroed in on the girl’s cousin for the alleged hacking and morphing of the photos.

MP Police’s Crime Branch sent a team to Delhi on Tuesday and arrested him. Family members of the accused meanwhile protested at the police station.

“The motive behind the crime is not clear so far,” said a senior police officer.
