Delhi Police arrested 27-year-old Jeetu Kumar from New Ashok Nagar for allegedly creating multiple fake Instagram accounts in a woman's name and sending obscene material to her husband and acquaintances. The woman reported prolonged mental distress as Kumar created new accounts whenever earlier ones were reported and taken down, police said.
Police obtained account registration details from Meta and traced the accounts to a mobile number registered in Kumar's name. A mobile phone allegedly used in the offence was recovered. Kumar knew the woman and had been following her since 2022, police added. The NDTV report quotes cyber crime officials warning that fake social media identities do not protect offenders from investigation due to digital evidence.
Kumar has no previous criminal involvement, police said. Further investigation is underway.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources give straight police-account reporting with no discernible slant. The Times of India leads with the arrest and the victim's prolonged ordeal, naming the accused and detailing the modus operandi of creating new accounts after each takedown. NDTV frames the story around a cyber crime warning about digital traceability. Neither source questions police methods or the accused's alleged motive. The uniform coverage leaves little to compare: the key detail to watch is whether Meta's cooperation in providing registration details becomes a standard in similar cases, which could shape future cyber crime investigations.
