The Story in Brief
The Vuyyuru police in Andhra Pradesh’s Krishna district arrested photographer D. Ramakrishna for allegedly creating a fake social media account in a woman's name to harass her. Superintendent of Police V. Vidyasagar Naidu said Ramakrishna sent obscene messages from the fake account to others, posing as the complainant.
A team led by Vuyyuru Circle Inspector T.V.V. Ramarao and the cybercrime police traced the account to Ramakrishna. He was arrested on Wednesday (August 12, 2026). The SP said stern action would be taken against those who harass women and children on social media platforms, as reported by The Hindu.
The Indian Opinion
The arrest is a welcome step, but let’s not pretend one case changes the daily reality for countless women facing online harassment. The usual narratives swing between 'police do nothing' and 'police are heroes.' Both miss the point. The test is whether this leads to faster FIR registration and conviction, not just a press release. How many such complaints in Krishna district have actually ended in a conviction this year?
