A 32-year-old human resource manager of an IT company was nabbed by Hyderabad SHE Teams on Monday for harassing a woman on social media.

The accused has been identified as B. Narender Singh, a resident of Himayatnagar.

According to the police, the complainant, who is an engineering graduate, said that she had recently attended a job interview in an IT company. Narender Singh, the HR department head, told her that the status of her selection will be informed through phone and shared his contact number.
