Mumbai: Man sends lewd messages to over 600 women, held

The Andheri police late Wednesday arrested a college dropout, who is alleged to have hacked WhatsApp accounts and sent obscene messages and videos to over 600 women. The man’s intention was to chat with the women and lure them to meet him, said police.

Accused, Ravi Dandu (30), a resident of Dharavi, was arrested on Wednesday. He works as a data entry operator in a private bank.

Dandu was booked after a 17-year-old girl from a Mumbai college approached the police in February alleging that an unknown person had hacked her WhatsApp account and was sending obscene messages and videos to girls in her contact list.
