He blackmailed some 100 women with threats of circulating their indecent photographs on the social media before being arrested by the Delhi police today.
26-year-old Sumit Jha had been arrested earlier in similar cases in Chhattisgarh and had confessed to the crime.
He used to demand money and pictures of his victims’ private parts, they said, adding that the mobile phone used to trap women has also been recovered.
In her complaint, a Delhi woman accused the man of “hacking into her account on Instagram,” and said he would post her nude pictures if she didn’t meet his demand for money.
According to the police, to blackmail and extort money from women, Jha used to take their profile pictures from their social media accounts, morph them and create fake profiles.
