New Delhi: The Delhi Police has arrested a man who had allegedly sent obscene messages to hundreds of girls and women in and around the capital.
As per a report in NDTV, Mohammad Khalid, 31, had sent obscene messages to some 1,500 women across Delhi.
To play smart and avoid detection, the accused – who runs a bag shop in old Delhi - had used different mobile numbers and phones to send the messages.
According to the police, the women had complained against the man on various helplines being run in Delhi.
The police tracked down Khalid by putting the mobile numbers given by the complainants on surveillance.
Detailing his modus operandi, the police said Khalid used to make random phone calls and note down numbers whenever answered by women on the other side.
Khalid then used to send obscene messages to the women via SMS or WhatsApp.
He used to particularly send offensive messages and disturbing videos when told off by women.
The police found contact numbers of around 2,100 women on the three SIM cards and two mobile phones recovered from his possession.
