Chennai: Dropout Engineering from Tirumullaivoyal Tamil Nadu, which allegedly extorted money and valuables from several women after making friends with them on Facebook under a series of fake profiles, had been arrested, said the police on Sunday.
The police said that Lokesh, 26, used to be friends with women, who were looking for friendship through social media platforms, especially Facebook, using fake profiles with photos of people and different names.
He will then enter the intimate relationship with these women, get their details, take the catch of the chat screen with them, and threaten to share this detail with their friends and relatives.
The police registered the case after a student filed a complaint that he was threatened by someone he had been friends on Facebook and demanded that he hand over jewelry and cash.
After his arrest on Saturday, Lokesh was produced in front of the Court of the Judge, who sent him to the words.
The police said that he had cheated and threatened several women in Puducherry, Dindigul, Coimbatore, and Kanyakumari and even a woman from Malayasia and had taken money and other valuables from them.
A senior police officer said that the police check whether he had deceived more people and whether there were colleagues who worked with him.
