The Delhi police have arrested a 40-year-old man from Mumbai for allegedly creating fake social media profiles of a woman news anchor and posting defamatory content against her, an officer said on Tuesday.
The accused was identified as Chet Kamal Prakash, a native of Jammu and Kashmir, residing in Mumbai.
The woman filed a complaint about her fake social media profiles that contained derogatory and forged content.
