AHMEDABAD: A resident of Nava Vadaj has been arrested for creating fake social media accounts, befriending women after posing as a female, and then posting their photographs online.
The Dariapur police said that 28-year-old Hitesh Soni wanted to befriend girls. “So, he created various social media profiles, posted pictures of girls as his profile photograph and sent friend requests to other women. If they replied, he would start chatting with them. If he liked their photographs, he would screenshot it and later use it as his display picture. He used to change photographs quite frequently,” said police. The police found 400 screenshots of different girls on his mobile phone. “Among these were photographs of the complainant’s daughter,” said cops.
