March 01, 2012 01:20 am | Updated 01:20 am IST - MADURAI:

The police have arrested a 28-year-old man on the charges of harassing his wife and pasting her photographs on Facebook by creating a fake identity.

Following a complaint from Sarojini Devi, daughter of Kanagarathnam of Sri Lanka, the CCB was directed to register a case.

She married Sivakumar in 2011 at a temple here and within a month, they left for Singapore. However, problems arose and, according to Sarojini Devi, her husband left for India suddenly. She found that her credit/debit cards were missing. She returned to India and was informed by friends that her offensive photographs had been uploaded on Facebook from an ID carrying her name. She claimed the ID was fake.

A case under Sections 66 C, 66 E, 66 A of Information Technology Act of 2008 read with Section 4 of women harassment Act and IPC Sections 418 and 420 was registered.
