According to the police, Singh was on the run after learning that the woman had registered a police complaint against him. Last week, the police tracked him after he withdrew money from his bank account. He was arrested and is in judicial custody.

“The complainant and the accused had become romantically involved after knowing each other for almost a year. They had never met but had shared passwords of their social media accounts with each other,” said an officer from Kurar police station.

After acquiring the woman’s password, Singh contacted and proposed to some of the woman’s friends, said the officer, adding, “He made inappropriate comments to them and even sent inappropriate pictures of his own with the other women. Eventually, the woman got to know about Singh’s intentions and what he was doing. After this, she broke off the relationship with the accused and blocked him on all social media handles.”

The accused is a school dropout and does odd jobs for a living, the officer said, adding, “While they were still together, the complainant had sent him ₹40,000. We started tracking this account when we didn’t find him at his home. Some days later, we found some withdrawal being done from it and got to know of his location.”

Singh was booked for sexual harassment and stalking and under relevant sections of the Information Technology Act.
