A youth was today arrested for allegedly creating a fake Facebook account of his cousin sister and uploading some obscene pictures in a bid to take "revenge" on the victim following a feud between the two families, cyberabad police said.
The accused, identified as V Venu (22) created a fake Facebook account in the name of his cousin and uploaded obscene photos causing a lot of mental agony to the victim after which she lodged a complaint on November 10, they said.
During the course of investigation it came to light that the culprit is none other than the cousin of the victim.
