A 32-year old man has been arrested for helping his neighbour instal an application in her husband's mobile phone to allegedly spy on him, police said.
S Ajith was arrested on the basis of a complaint filed by the woman's husband, a resident of Elamakkara here, police said.
The woman will also be made an accused in the case, police said adding suspicion arose when she narrated her husband's daily private activities when they quarrelled once.
Realising that his phone was being bugged by his wife with an app, the husband filed a complaint with the police.
The police tracked down Ajith with the help of the same application and arrested him.
Ajith has been booked under Section 66-E of the IT Act, police said.
